A Leaf in the Bitter Wind: A Memoir
Signed hardcover copy of A Leaf in the Bitter Wind: A Memoir by Ting-Xing Ye, issued by Hungry Mind Press in 1999. The copyright page identifies it as the first Hungry Mind Press printing, with a complete number line, and the book retains its pictorial dust jacket.
Ye’s memoir follows her life from childhood in Shanghai through the upheaval of Maoist China and the Cultural Revolution. After her family was marked by its capitalist background, she endured separation, forced agricultural labour and political persecution before studying English, working as a government interpreter and eventually leaving China for Canada in 1987. It is both an intimate account of survival and a firsthand perspective on a turbulent period of modern Chinese history.
The title page is signed and personally inscribed by Ting-Xing Ye to Christina, with a January 2010 date and signatures in Chinese and English. This is a personalized author-inscribed copy rather than a flat-signed example.
The seller grades the book Very Good. The dust jacket displays light rubbing, scattered small pale scuffs or specks and modest wear at the spine ends and extremities. The photographed title and copyright pages appear generally clean and legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
