A thousand miles of dreams
The author reconstructs the lives of her elite Cantonese grandmother, Amy Ling Chen, who in 1925 won a scholarship to study medicine in the United States, and of Amy's elder sister, Ling Shuhua, a writer and painter who remained in China until 1945. Welland balances family sources with research and reading of Shuhua's fiction. This biography gives glimpses of 20th-century Chinese women's intellectual history and insights into the Chinese-American and Anglo-Chinese experience.
