I feel that I live with her, her father, mother and the concubine grandmother. I can understand the thousands of hidden feelings behind her stories. Sometimes I feel I have been same as her father at least for some time in my life. Jung Chang's story is a realistic portrait of the sufferings of three generations of Wild Swans in China. Although I read her story a bit late but I feel I have lived in all the mentioned places she mentioned. I was looking for an e-mail address to contact her and send her a letter but unfortunately I could not find it. I hope Jung read this short comment and try to contact me because I do believe I need her advice if I ever can write some words about my experiences. I am sure that nobody is as able as Jung to describe the sufferings as she wrote about the Swans.</p> I have just finished reading The Wild Swans Jung Chang.

Are you going to believe the events of North Korea by asking the North Koreans or from outside thinking sources who have done much research on the topics?</p> David’s ignorance and simplicity can be dealt with by one question to him.

She's a wonderful woman. We also had a Maoist who got up and demanded three questions and then started lecturing her on the Cultural Revolution - he was about 25 and obviously a non-arts student. I don't know - perhaps he had some weird disease that stopped him getting older.....</p> By the way I have met with and talked to JC myself. She’s a wonderful woman.

The book is far from perfect, but it is very interesting reading. I am still waiting for the academics to pull it apart though because the ensuing debate should be very entertaining.
