Chinese-born British writer Jung Chang’s multigenerational memoir of China, Wild Swans, was the highest-selling non-fiction paperback ever published, translated into 30 languages and selling more than 10 million copies. Twenty-three years later, it’s still banned in China.

Chang’s 2005 biography of Chairman Mao, written with her husband Jon Halliday, courted further controversy with its negative portrayal of the Chinese leader.

Her latest book Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China is a biography of the legendary woman who ruled China from behind the scenes for almost half a century, reforming it in the process – including banning foot-binding and forcing the nation out of its self-enforced isolation.

In this video, Jung Chang talks to Australian author Toni Jordan about her work.

I'm just reading the first book for the first time. It's beautifully written and a real insight into the inside of China during the revolution.

W Polsce też czytana i doceniana. Znakomita jest książka "Dzikie łabędzie: Trzy córki Chin" ("WILD SWANS: Three Daughters of China"). Inne też przeczytam na pewno. :) Jung Chang jest piękną kobietą! :)

I would like to speak with Jung Chang. She has the research skills to find information at the China's First National Archives. We might be related, too...

Her Mao biography was one long horror story.

So stereotypical and predictable, isn't it ?
