_________________'A brilliant and sensitive writer ... I was very moved' - Jung Chang'A raw and powerful memoir' - New York Times'Ying's style is austere and dry; it's severity makes the story all the more heartbreaking' - The Times'A beautiful, haunting book, an epic of the face of China we do not see ... completely absorbing' - Mary Wesley_________________A vivid memoir of a young girl growing up in Mao's ChinaBorn during the Great Famine of the early 1960s, Hong Ying grew up in a slum on the hilly Yangtze bank, constantly aware of the sacrifices her family made so that she would survive. Nearing her eighteenth birthday, she became determined to unravel some of the enigmas that had troubled her all her life: a stalker who had shadowed her since childhood, an anomalous record in her father's government file, and an unshakable feeling that she was an outsider in her own family. With fearless honesty, Daughter of the River follows China's trajectory through one woman's life, from the Great Famine through to the Cultural Revolution, and beyond to the horrifying events in Tian'anmen Square.
Autoren-Porträt von Hong Ying
Hong Ying, 1962 in Sichuan geboren, wuchs in den Slums von Chongqing am Rande des Jangtse in China auf. Nach einer Kindheit und Jugend in größter Armut verließ sie mit 18 ihren Heimatort, um in Peking ein neues Leben als Autorin zu beginnen. Angesichts von Repressionen und Zensur wanderte sie 1989 nach aus und kehrte erst kürzlich wieder nach China zurück.
