Dvije žene iz Kine: Dudinja i Breskva

Dvije žene iz Kine: Dudinja i Breskva

Hualing Nieh

The novel follows the fate of a young Chinese woman, Dudinja, who flees war and revolution in China in the 1940s and 1950s. The novel, banned in China for its political and sexual themes, explores trauma and schizophrenia through the story of Dudinja deve

The story unfolds in four parts, combining the diary entries of Dudinja and the letters of Peach to an American immigration officer.

During World War II, the adolescent Dudinja flees the Japanese invasion, caught on a boat on the Yangtze River. Later, in Beijing, she faces the communist revolution, and after fleeing to Taiwan, she hides with her husband, accused of embezzlement, in an attic, where their daughter develops a fantasy world. In the final part, Dudinja arrives in the United States, persecuted by the immigration service. There, Peach appears, her rebellious, sexually liberated persona, who rejects her Chinese roots and ridicules Dudinja.

The novel combines historical allegory, political satire, and a feminist perspective, exploring cultural dislocation and psychological fragmentation. Nieh depicts the struggle between traditional values and modernization with humor and irony, making the work significant in the context of Chinese and immigrant literature.
