Jung Chang‘s 1991 bestselling book “Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China” told the story of her grandmother, mother, and herself surviving China’s upheavals, including World War II, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.
Now she continues the story in “Fly, Wild Swans: My Mother, Myself and China.”
Chang joins host Scott Tong to talk about the book.
