The True Story of Forbidden Love in Modern China
Meihong Xu grew up during the upheaval of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Inducted into the People's Liberation Army at an early age, she became a member of the elite intelligence corps and was sent to spy on visiting American professor, Larry Engelman. But as she got to know him, she realised her old loyalties were gradually being divided . . .
This is the compelling and beautifully told story of an extraordinary love affair, but more than that it is a vivid insight into life inside the rigid walls of Communist China, a tale of humanity triumphing over brutality.
