I and a lot of mothers or women are impressed by your courage and that you have braved yourself into penning down the inner voices of the miserable women who can’t speak out. Ur book has connected me to a country that I thought I know yet it’s so unknown.. I am looking forward to read the chinese version of Message From An Unknown Chinese Mother and the rest of your books that best describe the voices. My best! Jennifer Dear Xinran

I came across your most recently written book: Message From An Unknown Chinese Mother. I and a lot of mothers or women are impressed by your courage and that you have braved yourself into penning down the inner voices of the miserable women who can’t speak out.

Ur book has connected me to a country that I thought I know yet it’s so unknown..

I am looking forward to read the chinese version of Message From An Unknown Chinese Mother and the rest of your books that best describe the voices.

My best!

I am married to a Chinese lady and love her and her daughter very much. We all live in Australia. I have been to China three times but would like to return to teach English for 6 months to learn Mandarin. My only needs are that I receive accommodation and food and the opportunity to learn Mandarin; in exchange I offer 6 months of teaching English to the children and/or adults.

I couldn't get very far with it when I first started it because it was so painful. The second time, I was determined to read it through. It is truly shocking to hear what women endured during the Cultural Revolution. I am a British Born Chinese woman, born in the 1980's. My parents hinted that awful things happened but shielded me from the truth, and at school (in the UK), we studied Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini - so I have been ignorant of Chinese history for long enough. As well as finding your book devastating (i shed a lot of tears during the reading), I was very moved by your courage and your determination and I am going to read your other books. I also like your photo - you look like my mum a bit. Thank you very much and I wish you and your son success and happiness. With love, A british born squid Dear Xin Ran,

Tonight I found a article about you om the internet and I'd really want to read your book about those mothers. Is the book translated in to Norweigan? The whole thing is really weird to think about, about all that you hear about China. And that I may be one of those daughters. Hope I find it in the bookshop!
