About this title

Synopsis

Aiping Mu was born in Beijing in 1951 to parents close to the top of the Communist hierarchy. Her early life was one of luxury, servants, and exclusive schooling. But politics was soon to pull the family apart, and as the Cultural Revolution took hold, Aiping’s mother and father were classed as counter–revolutionaries and imprisoned. Rehabilitation followed, but the years of political infighting had taken their toll on her parents; their subsequent divorce became the stuff of national headlines, with government figures lining up to influence the outcome. And while Aiping’s career flourished, her own marriage was not to last. Part autobiography, part epic historical drama, Vermilion Gate is a stunning insight into the events that shaped Communist China, and how Communist China shaped the family, marriage, and the role of women.

About the Author

Born in 1951, Aiping Mu left China, her family and 6-year-old son in 1988, and now lives somewhere in England.
