"A faithful and meticulous transcription of her mother's narrative. . . She has done a great service not only to Chen Huiqin, but also to readers who would like to understand the transformation of village life currently underway in China."- Richard King (Pacific Affairs) "This book offers invaluable insights into the social history of rural China from a peasant perspective. Indeed, it reflects China's history in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and does so in a much more nuanced way than other Chinese memoirs available on the Western book market."(Nan Nu: Men, Women, & Gender in China) "Chen Huiqin's memoir, Daughter of Good Fortune, provides a rare glimpse of life in rural China during the twentieth century."(Twentieth-Century China)
