Description
As a promising young actress, Sun Weishi made the critical decision to pursue her studies in Moscow - with the blessing of her influential adoptive father, Zhou Enlai, and Mao himself. The valuable insights she gained there during World War II, most notably the significance of characters'' inner lives, would enable her to excel back in China, where she produced works by Chekhov and Gogol, and other socially progressive dramas, such as an adaptation of Uncle Tom''s Cabin. Her striking career as China''s first female director of modern spoken drama (Huaju) would be derailed with the advent of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, however, which put her once again at odds with an old enemy - Jiang Qing, a fellow actress who schemed her way to the top as Mao''s fourth and final wife. Through the decades-long rivalry between these two complex women, and their differing approaches to the men in power who shaped their lives, Ha Jin deftly explores the ideals of communism and the reality of the Chinese Communist Party. At the same time, the novel captivates us with Sun Weishi''s personal struggles and triumphs, as she navigates friendship, love, art, and politics amidst the great events of the twentieth century.
