内容简介
Through the stories of four sisters born between 1907 and 1914, a renowned historian examines a century of change in Chinese culture and in women's lives. Now in their late eighties and early nineties, the four Chang sisters lived through a century of historic change in China. In this extraordinary work, assembled with the benefit of letters, diaries, family histories, poetry, journals and interviews, Annping Chin shapes the story of one family into a riveting chronicle that provides a unique insight into the old China and its transition into the new. From prosperity to persecution, from foreign wars to Cultural Revolution, "Four Sisters of Hofei" is an intensely personal and sweeping story that illustrates the complex history of a complex culture.

Not since Wild Swans has Chinese history been detailed so thoroughly... a remarkable tour de force and immensely readable.

Through these seven lives, Annping Chin paints a piecemeal history of early-20th-century China that leaves one hungry to know more.

This is a wonderful book, elegiac, poignant, and recreative of a lost world.

This is an amazing story, one that does need to be told again and again.

This book effectively conveys Chinese culture during the last century, with its aura of mystery, poetry and elegance.
