“Few can match Chang’s ability to bring Chinese history and politics to life through deeply felt personal narrative, and few have shaped Western understanding of China as broadly.”—The Guardian
The magnificent follow-up to Wild Swans, the multimillion copy, internationally bestselling sensation that traces the history of modern China through the true stories of three generations of courageous women in one family
Jung Chang’s epic family memoir, Wild Swans, ends in 1978, when Deng Xiaoping opened the door of Communist China. Jung—then twenty-six years old and unstoppably curious, despite years of brainwashing—seized the propitious moment and became one of the first Chinese to leave the tightly sealed country for the West. Fly, Wild Swans chronicles her and her family’s journey, along with that of China, as it rose from a decrepit and isolated state to a world power challenging American dominance.
During those decades, Jung’s life intertwines with her native land in unexpected ways, a rare relationship made more complex because her books are banned there. Her family story mirrors the ups and downs of China’s transformation through today. Chairman Xi Jinping’s attempt to return China to the anti-American Maoist past has a devastating impact on Jung’s life: She is unable to go to her mother’s deathbed.
Fly, Wild Swans is Jung’s love letter and emotional tribute to her extraordinary mother. Profoundly moving, it is filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history—both personal and global. Told in Jung’s clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best.
A Landmark Sequel to Wild Swans: The long‑awaited follow‑up to the multimillion‑copy, international bestseller, continuing Jung Chang’s extraordinary family saga and the story of modern China.
A Rare Insider’s View of a Rising Superpower: Traces China’s dramatic transformation from isolation to global dominance through Jung Chang’s personal journey and family history.
A Story the Chinese Government Banned: Jung Chang’s life and work are deeply entangled with China’s politics, with devastating personal consequences under today’s renewed authoritarian rule.
A Daughter’s Love Letter to Her Mother: At its heart, this profoundly moving memoir is an intimate and emotional tribute to an extraordinary woman and the bond they shared.
Compelling, Clear, Unforgettable Memoir Writing: Filled with drama, courage, curiosity, and sweeping history—both personal and global—told in Jung Chang’s honest, powerful voice.
