Download or read book Wild Swans written by Jung Chang and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of three generations in twentieth-century China that blends the intimacy of memoir and the panoramic sweep of eyewitness history—a bestselling classic in thirty languages with more than ten million copies sold around the world, now with a new introduction from the author. An engrossing record of Mao’s impact on China, an unusual window on the female experience in the modern world, and an inspiring tale of courage and love, Jung Chang describes the extraordinary lives and experiences of her family members: her grandmother, a warlord’s concubine; her mother’s struggles as a young idealistic Communist; and her parents’ experience as members of the Communist elite and their ordeal during the Cultural Revolution. Chang was a Red Guard briefly at the age of fourteen, then worked as a peasant, a “barefoot doctor,” a steelworker, and an electrician. As the story of each generation unfolds, Chang captures in gripping, moving—and ultimately uplifting—detail the cycles of violent drama visited on her own family and millions of others caught in the whirlwind of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People of China: Their Country, History, Life, Ideas, and Relations With the Foreigner This little Handbook is published at a lower price than has yet been ventured upon in any publication of a comprehensive character about China. Its object is to supply, in as compact and interesting a form as possible, the kind of information about the Country and its Peoples, and their Relations with the Foreigner, which an intelligent newspaper reader would be likely to seek from a friend who had lived in the Far East. What does China look like? (the inquirer would ask). If one found oneself in a field or on a river boat or in a street or house, what would one see? How do the Chinese strike the Foreigner? Is a Mongol a Chinaman or a Manchu, or only a Mongol? As to the long eventful History of the Oldest Nation in the World - which looks so very dry - cannot some flesh be pit on it bones? How do we do Westerns appear in Chinese eyes? What is the truth about Opium traffic and habit? What does one Chinaman say to another about Relations between Europeans, the War that have been waged with them, the vexed Missionary Problem, Treaty Ports, Spheres of Influence and Open Door? The Chinaman's Way of Government, Customs and Prejudice, his Ideas, Character, and Religions - there have been many statements and generalisations on these heads, but does he accept the as true? Can his point of view, which seems so difficult to reach, be approached by calling to mind of the facts of our own social, moral, and political development?
