Book
Fly, wild swans : my mother, myself and China / Jung Chang.
Jung Chang's Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother -- 'three daughters of China'. The book opens with her grandmother's birth -- and foot binding -- in 1909, when China was under the last emperor, through Mao Zedong's rule and the Cultural Revolution during which Jung's parents were subject to unbelievable ordeals. It finishes in 1978 when the Mao era officially ended, and Deng Xiaoping started the post-Mao 'Reforms'. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West. Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a world power, the challenger to the United States' dominant position in the world. Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung's family -- along with that of China -- up to date.
