Three Daughters of China, three women from three different and important historical moments in China Three lives twisted and torn by the succession of regimes and events. Hope and happiness destroyed by disillusionment with the ideals collapsed and injustice. Through his suffering and the daily lives of these three women - the writer Jung Chang, her mother and grandmother - it turns out the history of contemporary China seen through the eyes of those who suffered the political and social consequences. From the golden lilies of eight inches - the horrible practice of dressing the feet of young women, the legacy of ancient customs - the direct experience of the underground Communist Party of China, the Great Leap Forward and its consequences, the Cultural Revolution with its incredible and unjustified acts of violence. All this culminates in a story that marked the border between China and the Maoist-day: the death of the Great Helmsman, head of the Odyssey of terror and suffering of the family of Jung Chang.
Wild Swans, an exciting book that lends itself to an endless series of policy considerations such as on areas less palpable and that brings to light some key issues needed to understand the past, recent and less recent "Country of the way".
