At the end of the nineteenth century China is rocked by humiliating foreign attacks and local rebellions. The only constant is the power wielded by one woman: the resilient, ever-resourceful Tzu Hsi, also known as Empress Orchid. Moving from the intimacy of the concubine quarters into the spotlight of the world stage, Orchid makes a dramatic metamorphosis from a strong-willed young woman to a wise political leader, who must not only face the perilous condition of her fading empire but also a series of devastating personal losses. Yearning to step aside yet growing constantly into her role, only she can hold the nation's rival factions together. In this sequel to the bestselling novel Empress Orchid, Anchee Min brings to life one of the most important figures in Chinese history, a very human leader who assumes power reluctantly, and who sacrifices all she has to protect both those she loves and her doomed empire.

就不評論野史滿盈的故事情節瞭。同樣是宮鬥,從第一部的後宮搬到這一部的前朝就明顯感覺作者筆力不夠且結構開始有點亂。對比很明顯,沒有第一部好看。

評分美籍華人的英語讀的果真順暢。思維和語言習慣真的是無法言喻的東西。此書中的曆史和課本上的觀點有齣入,比如康有為完全是一個激進的考慮不周全的高考落榜者,事後在國際上亂散布謠言。世界上沒有絕對的東西,政治和曆史因為不同人的視角與利益也會變得黑白顛倒。"The devil will hurt u is the devil u dont know."至少有一件肯定的事情就是永遠都不要封閉自己。Embrace the world and then choose what you want.
