China Bound and Unbound recounts how one woman's hope of building a new China gradually turned to disappointment, disillusionment and despair, reflecting the minds of China's intellectuals at the time. --In this first-hand account, Frances Wong relates her personal experiences in China from 1949 to the present, detailing numerous political movements, including the devastating experiences of the Anti-Rightist Movement and the Cultural Revolution. After her husband was labeled a "Rightist," they were banished to the countryside for eight long years, while their four children were sent to different parts of the country to do manual labor.--Frances Wong was born in Hong Kong in 1923. She attended Diocesan Girls' School and the University of Hong Kong. She went to the mainland with her husband against the flow of the mass exodus in 1949 to help to build a new China. After her retirement in 1986 she spent fourteen years in California and came back to China in 2000 to see the developments in China and to write her autobiography.
