Title: A masterpiece
Product review: It must be extremely difficult to remain objective when writing a biography of yourself and your family when the setting is as tragic as 20th Century China. This book surpasses the excellent Victor Villasenor family history of his Mexican family's exodus to the United STates by providing a great deal of historical and political background to her incredible story. So, you not only get the remarkable story of her struggle through the excesses of Mao's China; but she more than adequately outlines the reasons for these excesses.Tragedy often affords certain individuals to display a courage and patience that inspires and instills optimism in the human condition. Ms. Chung writes a very human and moving account of one woman's struggle and triumphant over a society gone mad.I recommend this book highly to anyone interested in the China and toll Mao's ego inflicted on his own people.
