  <default_description>A powerful and passionate memoir for young readers, Ting-xing Ye tells, through the eyes of a child, the moving story of growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When Ting-xing Ye was born her aunt declared, &amp;#8220;Ah Si shi ge lao lu ming&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Number Four will have a difficult life &amp;#8211; for the signs were unlucky. Events soon bore out this cruel prediction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is the true story of fourteen-year-old Ting-xing&amp;#8217;s tumultuous life turned upside down by China&amp;#8217;s Cultural Revolution. After the death of both her parents, Ting-xing and her four siblings endure the brutality of Red Guard attacks on their schools and even their house as they struggle against poverty and hunger. At sixteen, Ting-xing herself is exiled to a prison farm far from home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full of personal and historical detail about this dramatic period in Chinese history, My Name is Number 4 has at its centre the feisty and courageous Ting-xing, fighting to survive as a young woman caught up in events beyond her control.</default_description>
