'Jung Chang was born in Yibin Sichuan Province China in 1952. She was a red guard briefly at the age of fourteen and then worked as a peasant a 'barefoot doctor' a steelworker and an electrician before becoming an English language student and later an assistant lecturer at Sichuan University. She left China for Britain in 1978 and was subsequently awarded a scholarship by York University where she obtained a PhD in linguistics in 1982 - the first person from the People's Republic of China to receive a doctorate from a British university. She is the author of the best-selling Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China and along with her husband Jon Halliday of the biography Mao: The Unknown Story. Her books have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 15 million copies in addition to millions in pirated editions and computer downloads in mainland China where both books are banned. Among the many awards she has won are the UK Writers' Guild Best Non-Fiction 1992 and Book of the Year UK 1993' HarperCollins online. - The very rare first printing has the full number line of impressions on the title verso. The many later printruns simply dropped this line in its entirety as is the case here. The true first edition of 1991 seems to have both title and author's name each as one line on the spine of the wrappers. hardcover

2000160822London: HarperCollins c.2000. With a lengthy inscription by Jung Chang in aid of English PEN A uniquely inscribed copy of this famous memoir with two poignant handwritten reflections by the author on "My Mother & My Family at the Time of Coronavirus" echoing many of the themes of the work including personal liberty resilience in the face of adversity and the importance of family. First published in 1991 Wild Swans remains the most widely read English-language autobiography by a Chinese writer; it is still banned in China. The author's meditations occupy the final five leaves the rear pastedown and a loosely notecard with a printed design after an oil portrait of her mother Xia Dehong. In her first entry dated April 2020 she reflects on the difficulties of securing official leave to visit Xia Dehong in China as well as her mother's resilience during the lockdown in Chengdu. She also speaks of her pride in her nephew an NHS doctor on the front lines of the fight against COVID. "Around this time of the year in the past I was often woken in the middle of the night by a sense of dread anticipating new hurdles turning up in the morning that would threaten my visit to my mother. This year I wake up feeling anxious about whether Joe has adequate personal protective equipment". In the second entry penned on New Year's Eve 2021 Chang writes that "news from China is more and more worrying. The regime seems bent on dragging the country back to the Maoist days and is promoting Mao with draconian measures. I am facing unprecedented danger if I set foot in China. And so it seems my fear of many years that I could not be with my mother in her last moments will be a reality". Chang discussed her inscriptions in this copy at a roundtable in support of English PEN held on 3 July 2022 in London. Overall a unique example of a truly monumental work exemplifying autobiography's potent ability to challenge hegemonic power. Octavo. With 16 half-tone plates double-page map of China. Original green boards spine lettered in gilt with gilt Chinese character "hong" "swan". With illustrated dust jacket. Housed in a dark blue flat-back cloth box by the Chelsea Bindery.
