My Step-Mother: Wife and Political Commissar

The author of My Step-Mother: Wife and Political Commissar is a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and the daughter of Li Rui - a Chinese Communist Party veteran. She boycotted her father’s funeral, calling it an improper tribute to a man who once worked for Mao Zedong but later became a fierce critic of the regime.

The book tells the inside story about how China’s leaders after Mao control Communist Party’s regime and even monitor their own seniors through their spouses.
