Vuelan los cisnes salvajes : Mi madre, China y yo

Wild Swans captivated an entire generation with the epic story of three daughters in 20th-century China. It began in 1909, under the last emperor, with the birth of Jung Chang's grandmother, who became a concubine at fifteen, and followed the lives of three generations of women until the death of Mao Zedong and the rise to power of Deng Xiaoping. Nearly half a century later, China has transformed from an archaic and isolated state into a global power under Xi Jinping, who has transformed it into a communist regime with capitalist characteristics. Jung Chang, who was a member of the Red Guards, a peasant, a steelworker, and an electrician before becoming a foreign languages ​​student and assistant professor at Sichuan University, fled to the West and became the first person from the People's Republic of China to earn a doctorate from a British university. In this sequel, she carries the story of her family and her country of origin into the present day, and, following her own life and that of her mother, constructs a captivating, moving, and unforgettable narrative about the hardships of living under a communist dictatorship and the threats that modern China poses to the world order. A book brimming with humanity, love, courage, and dignity from an author whose books remain banned in her native country.
