Private Revolutions: Coming of Age in a Changing China
Private Revolutions: Coming of Age in a Changing China
6:00pm, Wednesday 23rd of July, Conduit Covent Garden
Yuan Yang, a journalist and the first Chinese-born British MP, tells the true story of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society.
In a country where economic transformation has reshaped every aspect of life, what happens to those who refuse to follow the path set for them?
In this FT, NYT and Sunday Times book of the year, Yuan Yang shares the gripping, personal stories of four Chinese women navigating ambition, activism, and survival. From June, who fights for an education over a life of pig farming, to Sam, an activist forced into hiding, Private Revolutions is a powerful look at the quiet defiance shaping China’s future.
At The Conduit, Yang, in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Cindy Yu, will explore how individual resistance collides with state power, and what these women’s struggles reveal about modern China. Join us for an intimate and urgent conversation about resilience, freedom, and the price of standing up for yourself in an era of rapid change.
Please note: This event is being organised and run by the Conduit.
