NLC Asia Circle

Club Asia Circle is delighted to announce that after 5 years of Jung Chang's first visit to our club in a sold out event in July 2021 on her 4th book , Jung Chang is coming back again this year on 20th July to discuss her 5th book and the new book Fly, Wild Swans.
Jung will be interviewed by Rebecca Liu , 2026 Booker Prize Judge and Acting Culture Editor, Saturday Magazine, Guardian News and Media.

Dr Jung Chang CBE was the first person from mainland China in the 1980s to gain a PHD degree from the University of York, and she later moved to London and became a lecturer at SOAS of the University of London.

Her first book, Wild Swans, published in the 1990s, was a book that defined a generation. The book has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and has now become a classic book, still selling. She then wrote Trilogy of history of modern China , Mao the Unknown story ( 2005 ) , Empress Dowager Cixi ( 2013) , and Big sister, Little Sister , red sister ( 2020 ). All these books became best sellers at the time and topped the charts, published in over 40 languages.

Jung Chang has been awarded a CBE for service to literature and to history. Our current Queen is a big fan of Jung Chang.

We look forward to welcoming members and guests to hear Jung Chang talk about her 5th book, which was the sequel to her first book. This book was published 6 months ago. Jung has not stopped travelling for her book tour, and we are very lucky to have her in our club on 20th July.

The author will be selling her book and will be available to sign copies on the day.
