At the start of the twentieth century in China, the Hans were
married in an elaborate ceremony before they were even born. They
went on to have nine children and chose colours portrayed in some
of their favourite poems as nicknames for them - Red, Cyan, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Green Tangerine, Purple, Blue and Rainbow. Fate, and
the sweep of twentieth-century history, would later divide them.
Xinran begins with the magic and tragedy of one young couple's
wedding night in 1949, and goes on to tell personal experiences of
loss, grief and hardship through China's extraordinary century. A
spellbinding and magical narrative, this is the story of modern
China through the women who lived through it.
