Daughter of China: A True Story of Love and Betrayal ReviewI had mixed feelings about this book ... it is well written and I remained interested throughout, but I became increasingly disenchanted with the author, Xu Meihong. There seemed something rather cold and calculating about her. Larry Engelmann on the other hand, struck me as being generous and loving, but naive. Some of the story seemed improbable and while I believed most of it, I know enough about China to have some scepticism. I felt sorry for the men in Meihong's life: her first and second husbands, as I felt they were far more heroic and giving than she was. While doing her best to make a case for leaving her first husband on the grounds that he would be better off without her, and that she was doing him and his career a favour by divorcing him, I found her arguments unconvincing. Her motivation throughout the book seemed mostly self seeking and her love for Lin Cheng and Larry Engelmann rather lacking in depth and committment. I was not altogether surprised to find at the end of the book that she had left Larry.
I was also disappointed at her scant reference to the Tienanmen Square massacre. I'm sure there was much more that she could have said, especially as an eye witness.
Xu Mehihong is obviously an ambitious person and her story portrays this aspect of her personality throughout. She achieved her ambition to get to the West too, albeit through dishonest means. But I cannot say that my final impression of her was one that I particularly liked. All in all, this book left a slightly sour taste in my mouth!Daughter of China: A True Story of Love and Betrayal Overview
