Notes	An exciting story of love, war, exile, conspiracy and betrayal, taking us on a poignant journey, from the lands of exile in Japan and Berlin to the secret meeting rooms in Moscow. In her emotional and epic narration, Young Zhang reveals the lives of three distinguished women who helped shape the history of China in the twentieth century. Three sisters start from one house, their destinies intertwined and separated, extending a full life during which China is experiencing the most complex and largest transformations. They showed great courage and experienced passionate love, despair, and heartbreak, especially when they belonged to contradictory political axes. The story of the Three Sisters from Shanghai is one of the most famous modern stories. While China suffered a hundred years of wars and revolutions, each of them played a decisive role and left an indelible mark on history.
