Jung Chang not only records the Empress Dowager’s conduct of domestic and foreign affairs, but also takes the reader into the depths of her splendid Summer Palace and the harem of Beijing’s Forbidden City, where she lived surrounded by eunuchs—one of whom she fell in love, with tragic consequences. Excellent revision of the life of Empress Dowager This is a superb and well researched biography, written by the wonderful Chinese writer Jung Chang (she also wrote the semi biographical, semi-autobiographical novel, "The wild Swans") and beautifully read by Pik-sen Lim. The project of Jung Chang’s new book, Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China, is to rehabilitate the reputation of Cixi, the woman who essentially ran China from her coup in 1861 until her death in 1908. In this groundbreaking biography, Jung Chang vividly describes how Empress Dowager Cixi – the most important woman in Chinese history – brought a medieval empire into the modern age. Under her, the ancient country attained virtually all the attributes of a modern state and it was she who abolished gruesome punishments like ‘death by a thousand cuts’ and put an end to foot-binding.
