About this product

Product Information

A first-hand account of China's cultural revolution. Nien Cheng, an anglophile and fluent English-speaker who worked for Shell in Shanghai under Mao, was put under house arrest by Red Guards in 1966 and subsequently jailed. All attempts to make her confess to the charges of being a British spy failed; all efforts to indoctrinate her were met by a steadfast and fearless refusal to accept the terms offered by her interrogators. When she was released from prison she was told that her daughter had committed suicide. In fact Meiping had been beaten to death by Maoist revolutionaries.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Cruelty beyond neasure

    Having read Wild Swans, which also deals with the aftermath of the Communist takeover in China, I thought I had read all there was to know about the cruelty with which the Chinese treated their own people. Wrong. This book is from a different vantage point and is equally shocking. it is a cautionary tale well worth reading. While Wild Swans deals with three generations of the writer’s family, Life and Death in Shanghai is the author’s personal story.
