Free relationships, in which men visit their lovers at night, and return to their mothers&#8217; houses at dawn, are known as walking marriages. So my mother never got married. She was a good cook, a skilled horse woman, and could use a bow and arrow as well as any man. She was very beautiful, but she was also restless and impatient. Dujema, mother&#8217;s closest friend told me.\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"TOP\">\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">DUJEMA:\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"805\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Your mother was like you, spoiled by all her talents.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"TOP\">\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">NAMU:\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"805\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It was boredom that turned her into a revolutionary.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"841\" valign=\"TOP\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(ESTABLISH CHINESE COMMUNIST MARCHING SONG AND TAKE UNDER)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"TOP\">\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">NAMU:\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"805\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In 1956 the People&#8217;s Revolution Army arrived at my grandmother&#8217;s village. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"TOP\">\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">SOLDIER:\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"805\">\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">China has turned over.

Later, talent hunters from the regional Cultural Bureau came to listen to the village girls singing traditional songs.<br><br>\n\nNamu was chosen to represent her village and traveled for five days on horseback to Xijang, the nearest large town. She competed with girls from eight other hill tribes and won first prize. She was selected to represent Sichuan &#8211; a region with 87 million people. In Beijing she again won first prize.<br><br>\n\nLife back on Lake Lugu seemed tame. As cook in the local school, she managed to save enough money for the 3 day, hard seat train journey to Shanghai. She&#8217;d been promised an audition at China&#8217;s prestigious Conservatory of Music.<br><br>\n\nSo at the age of 13, having quarrelled with her mother and run away from home, she arrived penniless on the streets of Shanghai. At first, thrown by her shabby attire, the doorman would not let Namu into the Conservatory. However she dashed past him, got her audition and won a scholarship as their first Moso student.\nBy the time she graduated she had already begun her career as a singer, taking her sultry voice to nightclubs in Shanghai and later Beijing. &#8220;I was singing mostly pop songs memorised from bootleg Taiwanese tapes&#8221;. She also featured on several movie sound tracks including that of The Joy Luck Club.<br><br>\n\nStaying at Lake Lugu, a twenty nine hour drive to Beijing, I could only talk to Namu on the phone. However the local inhabitants were immensely helpful in both supplying traditional singers and in simulating the birth
