      abstract = {Red China. Because of her family's efforts to avoid  scrutiny during the Cold War era of the 1950s they tried  hard to blend in with their surroundings and little mention  was made at home of their Chinese past. Light -hearted  letters which would pass the scrutiny of censors on both  sides of the Bamboo Curtain were the only way family ties  were maintained. It was not until Flora's Aunt Ping  immigrated to America in the late eighties that Flora  learned about her ancestors and the intertwining of Chinese  history and family history. She also learned about the  recent past, when her "capitalistic" family was subject to  attack during the Cultural Revolution. The silence her  parents had maintained about their past hardships and the  loneliness experienced as immigrants was finally revealed.  The thoroughly westernized Flora Moon once identified with  ancient Rome, not ancient China. She had been labeled a  "banana" -- yellow outside but white inside Now a new  dimension--her Chinese roots-- has been revealed and  absorbed . A charming film for use in multicultural  studies.},
