For eight ground-breaking years, Xinran Xue hosted a daily radio phone in programme for Radio Nanjing during which she discussed women's lives, and invited women to call in and talk about themselves. Broadcast between 10 and 12 at night, "Words on the Night Breeze" soon became famous all over China for its powerful, honest discussions of what it means to be a woman in today's China.
It started in 1990, a time when China seemed to be opening up, both for Chinese and for the world. Xinran's programme revealed aspects of women's lives that had never been talked about in public before. She felt as if she was opening a tiny window into a huge fortress whose inhabitants had never before communicated with the outside world. Soon she was receiving over two hundred letters a day from women telling her their stories. She realised that she knew far less than she had thought about what it means to be a Chinese woman and embarked on a journey of discovery to collect their stories.
The stories presented here of almost inconceivable suffering rape, sexual abuse, the separation of parents from their children, the suppression of human emotion in order to survive the Communist regime never before have the tortured souls of Chinese women been laid so bare. And yet this is also a book about love, about how, despite cruelty, despite politics, the female urge to nurture and cherish remains. And then there is Xinran herself: an extraordinary woman who, despite her own unhappy past, has given her life to saving the stories of Chinese women from oblivion. 'This is a book from deep in the heart of China. As shocking as it is revealing. An extraordinary and eye-opening read.' - Jon Snow. 'Xinran's 'Good Women of China' are all strong, strikingly resourceful characters who offer unforgettable insights into the past and present of Chinese women's lives.' - "The Times". '"The Good Women of China" demands attention.' - "Observer". '[Xinran] writes compassionately but unsentimentally, dramatising the stories like gripping fiction.' - "Daily Mail".

评分读大学的时候，在晚上的专业课上偷偷看这本书，居然看得热泪盈眶。女人有时柔弱，但有时却坚强得可怕。每一个默默付出，在灾难来临时依然维护自己家庭的女人，她们也有过青春洋溢的年华，也作为别人的女儿被宠爱过。长大了，结婚了，有孩子了，才慢慢学会承担痛苦。 我的妈妈，...
评分同样是一个老外推荐的！ 刚开始拿到手的时候心里觉得咯噔一下，难道美国人眼中的中国妇女就是这个样子吗？现在都什么年代了，为什么对中国的印象还停留在十来年前甚至几十年前？ 昨天开始看了前三十页，有感动，也有不解，这周决心去问问美国老师，你对中国妇女有什么看法？期...
评分这本书也是一个外国朋友推荐的。这是巧合吗？ 不是！！ 老外喜欢用审视和猎奇的态度来看待中国。 所以这个作者就以此来吸引眼球。 她以为只有她活在民主、幸福、自由之下吗？ 如果这本书是70或者80年代出的，我能理解。 可作者着手写的时候已经97年了，有没有搞错啊？ ------...
评分在大学里读的书中，这本算是印象深刻之一 记得那时，为那些好女人们感到痛苦，痛苦得看不下去．．． 然而又忍不住再去看，又为她们的力量，她们的意志，为她们的坚强感到佩服，为之感动． 女人，有时候到了极端状况时，表现出来的，也许真的会比男人强得多． 因为那是一种发自...

This is a nice book, reflecting a boarder view of the society comparing with the Wild Swan
评分所谓的中国好女人，其实是命运悲惨的人！如果把一些悲惨的故事放一块，还真以为这就是悲惨世界呢！让我对某些时代的中国女人有了更多了解，究竟女性价值何在？是一本很适合中国人看的书，但是不适合对中国没有了解的外国人。
评分一个女人生在中国是怎样的体验？
评分一点都不喜欢这书，读不下去了
评分看豆瓣评论里有人说作者尽挑中国落后狭隘的地方写给外国人看是为了吸引眼球……就是这种所谓“家丑不可外扬”的选择性失明造成了书中一代代中国女性悲惨的生活！
