To the Storm: The Odyssey of a Revolutionary Chinese Woman: Books: Yue Daiyun,Carolyn Wakeman

I was just going over a box full of books that I've bought last year and came across this one. It was one of the few that I read with some earnest. The latter 1/3 of the book was the most interesting to me; the foreword was a succint account of the status of intellectuals in China.

This is one of the most well written books about China out there.
