Confessions of a Chinese Heroine presents the candid autobiography
of Ying Mulan (born 1933), member of a famous Catholic family in
Beijing, and uniquely mirrors the turbulent changes of Chinese
society in the second half of the 20th century. At the age of 17
Ying Mulan was imprisoned for one year during her university
studies in Shanghai because of an imprudent statement concerning
the Korean War. Being blacklisted, she served as forced laborer in
four different work units and labor camps from 1958 to 1980, until
she finally managed to return to Beijing, where she began to work
for a government organization which controls and directs the
activities of the Catholic Church in China. In the labor camp in
Shanxi Province she married Wang Jikun and gave birth to a daughter
in 1972. Her husband died in 1990, and her daughter was independent
by then. Thus at the age of 60 Ying Mulan decided to become a nun
and joined the Josephine Sisters of Beijing Diocese. Sr. Ying
actively participated in the many-layered revival of religious life
in China since the 1980s. Her memoirs, written in 2019, look back
at the sorrows and joys of a faithful and ambitious woman. Sister
Ying frankly reveals many hidden details of life in China,
including cruel incidents during the Cultural Revolution and
insider information on the struggles of the Catholic Church within
an atheist regime.
