"Ancestral Leaves" follows one family through six hundred years of
Chinese history and brings to life the epic narrative of the
nation, from the fourteenth century through the Cultural
Revolution. The lives of the Ye family- 'Ye' means 'leaf' in
Chinese - reveal the human side of the large-scale events that
shaped modern China: the vast and destructive rebellions of the
nineteenth century, the economic growth and social transformation
of the republican era, the Japanese invasion during World War II,
and the Cultural Revolution under the Chinese Communists. Joseph W.
Esherick draws from rare manuscripts and archival and oral history
sources to provide an uncommonly personal and intimate glimpse into
Chinese family history, illuminating the changing patterns of
everyday life during rebellion, war, and revolution.
