Writer, historian, educator, and someone who shone a light for millions of people around the world onto the recent history of China, Jung Chang wrote Wild Swans, one of the most influential multi-generational biographies of our time. She has also written meticulously researched books on Chinese leaders such as Chairman Mao and the Dowager Empress Cixi. Born fourteen years before the Cultural Revolution began, Jung Chang was swept up by that particular tide of history. Briefly a member of the Red Guard, and then a so-called barefoot doctor, electrician and steelworker, she watched her parents being repeatedly denounced and her father’s heath utterly broken by his treatment. When the universities re-opened in 1973, she was galvanised to begin studying, and she came to the UK on a Chinese government scholarship as a postgraduate student. She was the first Chinese person to gain a Phd in the UK. A visit here from her mother began the train of events which resulted in Wild Swans and then her life changed for ever. It became the highest-selling non-fiction paperback book ever published. I’m delighted to welcome Jung Chang to My Life in Seven Charms. https://bit.ly/3BVSHBa

Jung Chang’s writings offer an in-depth understanding of the social and political dynamics of a country that is on the verge of becoming a global superpower. Following the publication of the Dutch translation of her latest book we’re hosting an intimate evening with the Chinese-born British writer. Jung Chang is the author of the best-selling books Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China, Mao: The Unknown Story (with Jon Halliday), and Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine who Launched Modern China. Her books have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. Her latest book, Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister: Three Women at the Heart of Twentieth‑Century, is regarded as another triumph. In a group biography that is in turn intimate and epic Chang describes the lives of the Soong sisters, three extraordinary women who helped shape modern China. As the country battled through a hundred years of wars, revolutions and seismic transformations, the three sisters were at the centre of power and left an indelible mark on history. It’s a remarkable story of war, communism and espionage related with nuanced sympathy, which takes us on a journey from Canton to Hawaii to New York. From exiles’ quarters in Japan and Berlin, to secret meeting rooms in Moscow, and from the compounds of the Communist elite in Beijing, to the corridors of power in democratic Taiwan.
