004 - Part 1 Letters 11 - 16
from My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard · host Elizabeth Cooper
In this captivating exploration of a bygone era, we delve into the life of Kwei-li, the wife of a prominent Chinese official. Through two compelling series of letters—one penned while her husband accompanied Prince Chung on his world tour and the other, 25 years later, reflecting the turmoil of a nation on the brink of revolution—Kwei-lis voice reveals the complex tapestry of a Chinese womans existence. With exceptional insights into both modernity and tradition, her words illuminate the struggles and resilience of women in a rapidly changing world. Join us as we uncover the rich narrative of a woman who balances the weight of her culture with the undeniable pull of progress. (Summary by MaryAnn with material from the Preface)
