Oh, what a woman! It is wonderfull to know, that a human being can act like her. I am reading her book( I am on page 256 now), and if she still is here, I want her to know, that she is fasinating me through the book. Nmjohnson, are you still drinking tea with her?

Is she alive in 2005? This question is written on 31 July 2005 by asugar@axelero.hu. Has anybody an answer?

I believe she is. Her death would surely have made news. Mike H (Talking is hot) 22:14, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
She definitely is alive! I had tea with her last week. Nmjohnson 05:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Her original name is Nian-yuan Yao, her husband's family name is Cheng. I found that in Chinese Wikipedia. Anthony Li, Feb 5, 2007

Read Cheng's book "Life and Death in Shanghai" to learn about the author and the horrors she and a multitude of other Chinese underwent during the Mao years.
