Jiang Qing
Jiang Qing is the scorned actor who rises up to marry Mao Zedong. She creates the Cultural Revolution. Its aim is to free the minds of millions of Chinese people from the ghosts of the past. But her mind has also been scarred by the experiences of the past – and she uses the cultural revolution to set out on a personal crusade of revenge.
Fifty years later, Bo Xilai tries to bring back those dreams of Jiang Qing, and give meaning and purpose to a China that he sees as having been taken over by emptiness and “ultra-corruption”. But then he is accused of massive corruption, violence and torture, and his wife of murdering an Englishman – Neil Heywood. In the biggest city in the world: Chongqing.
