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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring 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.
