New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company , 1978. Light gray boards, red cloth backstrip, silver-stamped lettering on spine, [vi] double spread title page, 262pp, plus 8pp photo section (pre-WWII China). Originally published in French in 1975 under the title "Le Palanquin des Larmes, As Told To Georges Walter. English translation by Abby Israel. Pale yellow dust jacket front panel simulates a silk moray pattern, back panel is a b/w portrait photo of the author. Spine ends lightly bumped, spine is slightly shaken (not as crisp & firm as new), sharp corners on covers, name inked on front free endpaper, else text is bright, crisp, clean. Dust jacket has a bit of light chipping on spine ends & flap turns, a small closed tear at top of back panel, wholly intact, protected in a new Gaylord-brand archival clear plastic cover (removable). The autobiography of a woman born to an affluent family in Shanghai in 1936 is an engaging account of life as a girl growing up in the upper-middle class in the years before the Cultural Revolution. When her family gets an opportunity to marry her off to the eldest son of one of the richest families in China, she is married...at age 13! The account of her traditional Chinese wedding (1500 guests) is interesting. There are hard times and much discrimination (although obviously a much talented pianist, she was not permitted formal study) but her life has a happy ending. (She managed to emigrate to Paris, and became a successful concert pianist and businesswoman.) In the author's view, the Cultural revolution was a good thing that brought an end to some of the more barbaric customs that made Chinese women's lives so difficult and constrained..
