Return to Peking

on BBC Two England

Second of two programmes written and presented by Anthony Grey.
In 1967, at the height of the Cultural Revolution,
Anthony Grey , Reuters correspondent in Peking, was placed under house arrest and held in solitary confinement for more than two years. Twenty-one years later, Anthony Grey , now a successful author and journalist, returns for the first time to Peking. He visits the places from which he was formerly banned - the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. He meets his former captors. He visits
English Corner (where, every Sunday, Chinese congregate to practise English). In conversations with former neighbours, with men and women in the street, with Long March veteran, Vice Defence Minister General
Hsiao Ke and with Ying Ruocheng, Vice Minister of Culture and star of The Last Emperor - he discovers a newly open and changing face of China.
