Více o knize
""During the 1990s, a period of relative openness in China, Xinran hosted a radio call-in show, inviting Chinese women to speak with her on the air about their lives. Broadcast every evening, "Words on the Night Breeze" became famous throughout the country for its unflinching portrayal of what it means to be a woman in modern China." "In this remarkable book, Xinran devotes each chapter to an individual tale that moved her. We hear Chinese women speaking for the first time about such issues as forced marriages, Party indoctrination involving systematic rape, the pain of daughters separated from their parents during the persecution of "counter-revolutionaries," and the extreme poverty of circumstance and spirit that came with the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath. But through it all the women also talk about love - about how, despite cruelty, despite politics, the female urge to nourish and cherish remains, and triumphs.""--BOOK JACKET, 2003 3d.
