Daisy Kwok's life spanned old Shanghai and modern Shanghai, old China and "New" China in a way that no other did. This book presents stories written by her of her life, stories from the high-flying years of Old Shanghai, and the desperate drama of the political campaigns in the 1950s and 1960s. Through it all shines Daisy's effervescent personality.
