In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

First line

ACCORDING TO Chinese folklore a special goddess, named Songzi Niangniang, "the princess who sends children," is responsible for delivering babies into the world and for safeguarding them during the first perilous weeks after birth.

From the rear cover

"Yue's book is a terrifying memoir of more than two decades of party-directed persecution, the most vivid account to date of the violence of the Maoist years."--Jonathan Mirsky, London Times Literary Supplement "A valuable report on a world from which we have had little news, by an intelligent woman survivor who was at the center of the turbulence."--Barbara Probst Solomon, New York Times "It is Yue's tremendous capacity to endure suffering, physical and mental, and her equally strong recall of minute and significant detail, that make one listen very hard to her quiet, candid voice as it weaves this complex, rich, and durable fabric of words."--Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "This stirring autobiography . . . is a testament to the human spirit."--Fran Rosenberg, New Directions for Women "A particularly poignant and painful book because [Yue], a well-known intellectual at Peking University, still manages to retain her faith in the Chinese Communist party, even thought this faith is more thoughtful and less unquestioning by the end of her account of 30 turbulent years."--Elizabeth Wright, London Daily Telegraph
