At the age of 17 Ying Mulan was imprisoned for one year during her university studies in Shanghai because of an imprudent statement concerning the Korean War. Being blacklisted, she served as forced laborer in four different work units and labor camps from 1958 to 1980, until she finally managed to return to Beijing, where she began to work for a government organization which controls and directs the activities of the Catholic Church in China. In the labor camp in Shanxi Province she married Wang Jikun and gave birth to a daughter in 1972. Her husband died in 1990, and her daughter was independent by then. Thus at the age of 60 Ying Mulan decided to become a nun and joined the Josephine Sisters of Beijing Diocese. Sr. Ying actively participated in the many-layered revival of religious life in China since the 1980s. Her memoirs, written in 2019, look back at the sorrows and joys of a faithful and ambitious woman. Sister Ying frankly reveals many hidden details of life in China, including cruel incidents during the Cultural Revolution and insider information on the struggles of the Catholic Church within an atheist regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Implementation of New Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: My Way into the Labor Camp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Qinghe Farm and the Farm in Daxinzhuang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: My Home in Beijing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Ying Family\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: My Middle School Years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: My Shanghai Experience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: By Searching for a Tomb I Found the Church \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: My Vocation and My Mission\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: The Revival of the Josephine Sisters of Beijing Diocese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eleven: Several Major Events\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twelve: My First Journey Abroad\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Thirteen: Hongkong, the Pearl of China\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fourteen: Mother Teresa Visits China\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fifteen: The Centennial Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Sixteen: Fu Tieshan, the Bishop of Beijing Diocese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seventeen: The Election of Li Shan as Bishop of Beijing Diocese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eighteen: Driving Lessons at the Age of Seventy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nineteen: My Stories With the Police Office\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twenty: My Infatuation With the Political Consultative Conference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twenty-one: Dreaming of a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lehigh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041684586839,"sku":"9781611463200","price":91.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781611463200.jpg?v=1750951291","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-chinese-heroine-the-labor-camp-memoirs-of-sr-ying-mulan-9781611463200","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
