Very Moving saga of Chinese life then and now...

Two Twins are born into this world, a boy and a girl...their paths diverge almost from the first moment of life, and the choices they each make in the universe that is China will dictate the rest of their lives...from the talented, brilliant sister, to her more pragmatic brother, their lives are enmeshed from birth on...very fascinating read on modern and also historic China, as old policies predicate new tendencies in future philosophies.
