To the Edge of the Sky

Survivor's journey through ideological turbulence in China.

"To The Edge Of The Sky" offers a deeply personal narrative set against the backdrop of a tumultuous era in Chinese history. Anhua Gao's life transitions from privilege to strife as she grapples with her family's legacy and the challenges imposed by the Communist regime. This memoir doesn't just catalog historical events; it immerses you in the emotional landscape of a resilient woman finding her strength amidst chaos. It's a testament to the human spirit's capacity for hope, making it a compelling read for those interested in personal triumphs over historical adversities.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Anhua Gao's parents were hailed as revolutionary heroes. In her early years she knew love and support and grew up in a privileged world. But when they both tragically died, all she was left with was her parent's fading reputation to guide her through the horrors of 20th century China. This is the story of how Anhua first struggled with and then against the ideological machine of Red China. It is a story of pain and horror, turmoil and tragedy. But most of all it is the story of a woman who found courage, hope and humour and who, against unbelievable odds, survived.
