General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Wild Swans by Jung Chang vividly recounts the lives of three women spanning a century of China's dramatic transformations. Beginning with the author's grandmother as the concubine of a warlord, the narrative unfolds through her mother's experiences under Japanese occupation and the early Communist regime, to the author's own tumultuous adolescence during Mao's Cultural Revolution. The story explores themes of love, loss, resilience, and the enduring bonds of family against the backdrop of profound political and social upheaval in 20th-century China. It offers an intimate perspective on the impact of history on individual lives and the struggles for survival and personal freedom.
