Title : The Wild Swans - Jung Chang - Book
Summary :
The granddaughter of a concubine and a "warlord," and the daughter of high-ranking communist officials, Jung Chang lived in a "cocoon of privilege" until 1965. The Cultural Revolution, with its trail of denunciations and persecutions, placed China under a reign of terror. Jung saw her parents interned in a reeducation camp while she was deported to the countryside where she would become a peasant, a "barefoot doctor," a factory worker, and more. Today, Jung Chang, living in Great Britain, offers us these memoirs of a Chinese family, from the Celestial Empire to Tiananmen. A relentless indictment of the Cultural Revolution, a magnificent book of memories woven around three generations of women, an irreplaceable historical testimony to the China of yesterday and today.
