SUMMER OF BETRAYAL > Political powerlessness is paralleled by sexual rebellion as the shocked and bewildered students flounder, faced with a situation more serious than they had expected. Hong Ying’s Summer of Betrayal uses this as the backdrop for Summer of Betrayal in which the protagonist, Lin Ying, ricochets between the political fallout of Tiananmen Square and the tumultuousness of her personal life after she finds her lover in bed with his estranged wife. In 1989, protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square turned violent as the government responded in force. External turmoil is matched by Lin’s internal confusion as Hong Ying reminds the readers that behind public breaking news events are individuals for whom life must go on.
