Government effected by the Industrial Revolution

There are a couple of connections between the Dancing for Mao by Jennifer Lin and Regarding the Problem of Newborn Piglets in Winter by Rong Chen. First of all, both stories were involved with the cultural revolution in China.  "'During the cultural revolution,'Li says, 'no one dared to tell the truth'"(12). People at that time all know about the loyal dance to Mao, even the five-year-old girl performed it in public. However, the young girl knows nothing about what she has done, and she never doubts it. This is like the situation happened in Regarding the Problem of Newborn Piglets in Winter. The small issue which is to protect the piglets to go through the winter time has involved with more than five different committees. Because of the secretary's personal judgment toward the problem, the piglet problems has been pushed to be the biggest topic. Due to the cultural environment in China at that time, authorities held the power, and even a small little details things confuse all the rest of others' minds. People have no idea what they were doing, and all they know about was following the rules.
