Scions of a once-great southern Chinese family that produced the tutor of the last emperor, Jun and Hong were each other's best friends until, in their twenties, they were separated by chance at the end of the Chinese Civil War. For the next thirty years, while one became a model Communist, the other a model capitalist, they could not even communicate. On Taiwan, Jun married a Nationalist general, established an important trading company, and ultimately emigrated to the United States. On the Communist mainland, Hong built her medical career under a cloud of suspicion about her family and survived two waves of "re-education" before she was acclaimed for her achievements. Zhuqing Li recounts her aunts' experiences with extraordinary sympathy and breathtaking storytelling. A microcosm of women's lives in a time of traumatic change, this is a fascinating, evenhanded account of the recent history of separation between mainland China and Taiwan"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Fuzhou Shi (Fujian Sheng, China) $v Biography. 600 10 $a Chen, Wenjun, $d 1923-2014. 600 10 $a Chen, Hong $c (Pseudonym) 600 30 $a Chen family. 650 0 $a Sisters $z Fuzhou Shi (Fujian Sheng) $z Fuzhou Shi (Fujian Sheng) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Families $z Fuzhou Shi (Fujian Sheng) $z Fuzhou Shi (Fujian Sheng) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Taiwan $v Biography. 651 0 $a Taiwan $v Biography. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Civil War, 1945-1949 $v Biography. 941 $a 8 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724015817.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231012012143.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033835.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012529.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020025.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221005021811.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220802013747.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220708010500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C7A15A6AF2B911ECBE76030055ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
