The critically acclaimed memoir of a forbidden love affair in communist China
"An important work." San Francisco Chronicle
"Riveting." Kirkus Reviews
"This memoir is a must–read." San Jose Mercury News
Now in paperback, here is the stunning true tale of a remarkable woman trained as an elite soldier in the Chinese army, her forbidden love for an American, and her seemingly impossible escape with his help from the nation to which she had pledged her life. An astonishing testament to the enduring resilience of love and the human spirit in the face of even the most oppressive, hopeless conditions, Daughter of China offers a compelling look at life inside the rigid walls of Communist China, revealing in fascinating detail Meihong Xu’s inculcation into the system a process so effective that she would willingly betray a friend or family member to prove her loyalty. Written with clear–eyed candor and stark eloquence, Daughter of China is at once a timeless, deeply moving story of a prohibited love affair and a dramatic depiction of life under Chinese Communism.
'Closer to Jung Chang's groundbreaking Wild Swans than many other memoirs, Daughter of China adds to the small number of Chinese memoirs that are really worth reading.' (Literary Review )
'I love this book ... Here is a story that should be sung as well as read. I will never forget it.' (Yan Geling )
'From the first riveting, provocative pages, Daughter of China held me spellbound ... A must-read for anyone with even a passing curiosity about the inner workings of Communist China.' (Aimee Liu )
'If Meihong Xu's story weren't true, a Hollywood scriptwriter would have invented it.' (The Times )
