A sheltered boy from an intellectual family in Shanghai, Benfu spends 1966 anticipating a encouraging violinist career and an arranged marriage. On the other hand of town lives Pony Boy, a member of a lower-class family - but Benfu's closest friend yet. Their futures look different but guaranteed...until they're confronted with a perilous opportunity to leave a mark on history. In the announcement of China's Cultural Revolution, Chairman Mao's Red Officer members commence their assault, departing innocent patients in their wake as they surge across the country. With political turmoil at their door, both Benfu and Pony Boy must face heart-wrenching decisions regarding family, a friendly relationship, courage, and devotion with their country during one of the most chaotic periods ever sold. The prequel to the favorite Tales of the Scavenger's Daughters series, The Palest Ink depicts Benfu's coming-of-age through the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution.
