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.
