«Daughter of China» is a memoir by Meihong Xu and Larry Engelmann, published by Headline Book Publishing in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Meihong Xu recalls her youth in rural China during the Cultural Revolution and her entry into the People's Liberation Army, where her critical gaze clashes with the regime's contradictions. The narrative centres on her forbidden love with an American professor she was meant to spy on, and on her family's story in communist China.
With the subtitle «The True Story of Forbidden Love in Modern China», the work was originally published in 2000 and appears in some catalogues as «A True Story of Love and Betrayal».
For readers of memoirs and modern Chinese history, interested in testimonies about life under the communist regime.
