Description:
Wild Swans, originally published in 1991, marked a generation. It was the epic personal story of Jung Chang, his mother, and his grandmother -- 'three daughters of China'. The book begins with the birth -- and foot binding -- of his grandmother in 1909, when China was still an empire, and follows the Mao era and the Cultural Revolution, when Jung's parents endured painful trials. It ends in 1978, when the Mao era officially ended and Deng Xiaoping ushered in the time of "reforms." Almost half a century later, China has transformed from a poor, decrepit, and isolated state into a world power, challenging the dominant position of the US. Throughout those decades, Jung's life was intimately connected to her homeland. His experiences in those years were rich and complex -- especially since all her books were (and are) banned. This book is a continuation of Wild Swans and updates the story of Jung's family -- and also that of China.
