Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister
Author: Jung Chang
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0451493516
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
They were the most famous sisters in China. As the country battled through a hundred years of wars, revolutions and seismic transformations, the three Soong sisters from Shanghai were at the center of power, and each of them left an indelible mark on history. Red Sister, Ching-ling, married the 'Father of China', Sun Yat-sen, and rose to be Mao's vice-chair. Little Sister, May-ling, became Madame Chiang Kai-shek, first lady of pre-Communist Nationalist China and a major political figure in her own right. Big Sister, Ei-ling, became Chiang's unofficial main adviser - and made herself one of China's richest women. All three sisters enjoyed tremendous privilege and glory, but also endured constant mortal danger. They showed great courage and experienced passionate love, as well as despair and heartbreak. They remained close emotionally, even when they embraced opposing political camps and Ching-ling dedicated herself to destroying her two sisters' worlds. Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister is a gripping story of love, war, intrigue, bravery, glamour and betrayal, which takes us on a sweeping 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. In a group biography that is by turns intimate and epic, Jung Chang reveals the lives of three extraordinary women who helped shape twentieth-century China.

Book Description
Is it always with brothers and sisters that there are those days when you just don’t see eye-to-eye on much of anything? It is on those days that we wonder...was I adopted or what? Then you hear someone say, “Well....you can pick your friends, however, you can’t pick your family.” And you laugh and say to yourself....at times I can’t even pick good friends.” Family members are onboard through it all....the good and the bad. Judy Light has lived in Northern California since she was twenty-eight years old. However, she grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, attending schools and doing all the normal things a young southern girl does....and then she moved away. This story is about the interaction over a long period of time between Judy and her brother Lonnie. The journey will take you first to their childhood days and then quickly to adulthood. You will see how two people who didn’t get along as children are more or less the same two people as adults. How circumstances and love bring these two people together and how life teaches, the human compassion of loving someone and letting them go. The story is humorous and will tickle your funny bone...yet, at times, it will make you sad and reflective about how life can throw you a curve ball. The writer writes from her heart, allowing you to see as she paints the pictures of her happiness, her sadness and the wonderful people that she calls family and friends. Read and enjoy.
