Beschreibung:
Xinran, geb. 1958 in Beijing, arbeitete jahrelang als Radiojournalistin. Ihre Sendung 'Words on the Night Breeze' war in ganz China bekannt und berühmt. 1997 verließ sie China und lebt seither mit ihrem Sohn in England.
Ten chapters, ten women and many stories of heartbreak, including her own: Xinran once again takes us right into the lives of Chinese women and their lost daughters. Whether as a consequence of the single-child policy, destructive age-old traditions or hideous economic necessity, these women had to give up their daughters for adoption, others were forced to abandon them - on city streets, outside hospitals, orphanages or on station platforms - and others even had to watch their baby daughters being taken away at birth, and drowned. Personal, immediate, full of sorrow but also full of hope, this books sends a heart-rending message to Chinese girls who have been adopted to show them how things really were for their mothers, and to tell them they were loved and will never be forgotten.
