[Crosspost] Reclaiming Maria: A Reunion of Self
After contemplating my own experiences and the power of personal growth, I finally decided to write a short story that reflects themes of resilience and self-discovery. While ‘Reclaiming Maria: A Reunion of Self’ draws inspiration from my own journey, it is a work of fiction, crafted to explore the complexities of facing the past and embracing who we’ve become. I hope you enjoy this tale of transformation and empowerment.

A brief, weird history of brainwashing
On an early spring day in 1959, Edward Hunter testified before a US Senate subcommittee investigating “the effect of Red China Communes on the United States.” It was the kind of opportunity he relished. A war correspondent who had spent considerable time in Asia, Hunter had achieved brief media stardom in 1951 after his book Brain-Washing in Red China introduced a new concept to the American public: a supposedly scientific system for changing people’s minds, even making them love things they once hated.
But Hunter wasn’t just a reporter, objectively chronicling conditions in China. As he told the assembled senators, he was also an anticommunist activist who served as a propagandist for the OSS, or Office of Strategic Services — something that was considered normal and patriotic at the time. His reporting blurred the line between fact and political mythology.
