Fabulous woman, brilliant writer! Her books are to be enjoyed and pondered over again and again.
Amazing, genius woman. I think I read all her books about China when I was a teen/youth. Luv her
Believe it.
12/9 she was born
16/9 Lee Kuan Yew was born
Same Virgo.
Different ideologies
She is the female version of LKY in terms of charisma, eloquence, with immense breadth and depth of knowledge. Two different polarized beings.
Respect.
She's a woman with a magnificent mind!
Dr Han you are 👍👍👏. A real heroine in history of China.
impressive interview
esp watching it in 2023
Such a moving and inspiring woman, I am overwhelmed.
She's just beautiful, I compared her to Pearl Buck in her wrintings, and I so loved the way she defends the cause she believes in, The only place where I can find her lovely voice and wise words is her novels, God bless her soul.
Are you not aware of her two volume set of the history of the Chinese Revolution? 1) The Morning Deluge 2) (as I recall) Wind in the Tower I read both in the 70s.
Han Suyin is one of a kind, a woman devoted to the Chinese people, in some ways similar to Americans dedicated to America as an idea, not just a place.
I had met and listened to her lectures as well as purchasing her books back in early 60`s London.
She is as pretty and charming as ever! 加油。
Han Suyin was right to support Mao. She saw so much suffering in China before 1949 that anything would have been better than the occupation of China by so many western countries and finally the Japanese. I read all her books, an unforgettable woman.
Mao brought even more suffering to china like never before. She must be a cunt to support the brutal and ruthless communist regime.
@@lepetitchat123 I can only say that you are heavily brainwashed by western media. Suggest you visit China to see for yourself and talk to the Chinese. Mao is still held in high esteem by a high percentage of Chinese. Before the communist revolution in 1949, the Chinese average life span was only 35 years, in 2019, chinese life span has increased to 78 years. Life expectancy is a key measure of the progress of a society. Similarly, literacy rate in 1949 was 10%, in 2019 it was 98%.
xinfu Zhang , the brainwash is tough. People see millions of happy chinese coming from China and returning with a big smile on their face but they keep singing the same narrative.
This interview was done in 1985. I read her book "China in the Year 2001" many years ago and found many of her views then not agreeable. She was rather radical and sympathetic to Mao at that time. This interview prodvided a more mature and balanced view on China with some correct foresight. She was really candid, intelligent and with a heart.
Who cannot be sympathetic to Mao?
She actually knows what she is talking about.
Han Suyin is marvelous!

她太棒了。没有之一
Such charming lady even in her old age
A genius!
As an admitted sociopoliticoeconomic conservative, I'll nevertheless acknowledge the shortcomings of the politicians who espouse that cause...esp our current Prez. So, for the worthy lady to endorse Mao, given the the human toll that can be laid to his account, is a remarkable (am at the moment hard up for a more suitable word) statement.
In all candor, one must also acknowledge how much of the ills that afflicted China in the past century can be laid at the door of the West.
It anyone is entitled to speak well (or ill) of the man, it's one of his own countryfolk. I'll leave it at that.
Love this woman
cool
I read Han Suyin's books.
Do you know The Morning Deluge and Wind in the Tower? 2 volume set of Chinese Revolution
说的好。。
Read all her books... wonder
I wonder if she were still alive would she still "love the British"?
21:00 she says she went to the snob university. what a traitor
5:39 the Iron Rule of Oligarchy
She supports CCP ，love China，thanks
China will show the world of a new term - It is called "ECONOMOCRACY".....
6:38 not happened...soullessness won
How wrong she was about HK and CPC.
She hadn't seen the other face of CCP and the HK situation today then. Fr.om HK. I like her old film though.
@@englishcountryman1900 its easy to complain about the state, harder to make things happen- Now we see the west in its corrupt monopoly starting to cannabalise its working class, now that the profits are diminishing and the liabilities begin to stack up. Time they take a hit!
But those Mao mistakes she dismisses were colossal: yes, 1-2 million died from hunger in the ROC for various reasons per year but Mao killed 20-30 million in just 15 years and a large chunk of those were unnecessary, (oh, just "an experiment" as she says here) about equally bad I estimate. The Mongolians, Tibetans and Uyghurs might disagree with her praise and apologizing for all things Chairman Mao. This woman wrote a book for public sale about her love and relationship for an Australian man, made money from it, and then rejected the Hollywood portrayal completely, a bit hypocritical. If she were alive today, she might be a major apologist for Xi's new imperialism me thinks, not to mention all the stealing by the "creative" PRC of British/American/Japanese and other technical secrets. A confused woman with huge identity crises it seems.
one question, have you ever read her book?
Have you been to China ? You appear to be heavily brain washed by Western media demonising of China.. China's treatment of national minorities is many times better than how the Anglo Saxon America, Canada and Australia treat the natives and the minorities.
While China's national minorities like the Uygurs, Tibetans, Mongolians still retain their language, land and culture that cannot be said of the natives and minorities in US, Australia and Canada, where they are discriminated, marginalised, persecuted , robbed of their land and their culture and language totally destroyed and supplanted by the Anglo Saxon.
@@voiceofchina1788 Her famous novel - yes - this latest one - no, numerous articles,/interviews yes.
@@xinfuzhang1919 I've been to China about a dozen times but more importantly have taught and loved Han Chinese, Mongolians, Tibetans, Uighurs and other ethnic minorities from the PRC for over 32 years with my first visit to southern China in 1988 and most recently in 2018. Nevertheless, the cultural affinity card is an old canard - one can learn through people, travel, films, docs, and books etc. Now and then, I tune into this guy: serpentza - who has lived in China for 20 years and has family there and many friends ex-pat and native, and who speaks Mandarin and I believe one local dialect as well. He offers interesting takes on the CCP especially from an outsider's inside view. My Mongolian colleague (Inner, or Southern as he prefers) is especially informative on many matters Chinese. My Uighur students of recent years have explained how scared they are of the CCP informant network within Japan, and we have talked many times about the re-education camps over the past three years there in his homeland which he calls East Turkestan. The CCP especially with this worldwide pandemic is about to hear from all of us soon by the summer of 2021 once this virus is tamed more-or-less, and it is bound to get ugly and rightfully so.
Mentioning what the WASPs did, do, and have done to minorities is something of a non-sequitur as my comments were directed toward the excesses of Maoism and now Xi-ism, which deserve loads of scrutiny, and by the fact I don't defend such actions of the past by "Anglo Saxons" and everyone else involved for that matter. I've done so most recently in Hawai'i, for example, the Stolen Kingdom! Clearly there needs to be a reckoning with the CCP, and it is unlikely to be pretty considering the nativism and populism now many years re-emergent in the West and in places like The Philippines, the overall pride factor, and the political immaturity of many non-emigrant Chinese.
@@Tsnore Quite interesting way to mention a novel, without the title
If and only if she sees what Xi is doing right now, she probably has to take her words back.
How optimistic she spoke about Hong Kong in here in 1985. Oh how the world turns!
arrogant,patronising, an apologist for Mao and ignores her European roots-an unlikable person
