This is the dramatic story of Meihong Xu, a remarkable woman trained as an elite member of the Chinese Army, who fell in love with the visiting American professor on whom she had been told to spy. DAUGHTER OF CHINA is the story of a love affair which changed two people's lives forever, but, more than that, it is an unforgettable depiction of life inside the rigid walls of Communist China. Interspersed with flashbacks to Meihong's childhood and to her family's painful history, this is a vivid and often shocking tale of humanity triumphing over brutality.
