Joseph Torigian, Associate Professor at the American University in Washington, presents his new book - 'The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping'. Chaired by Dr Giuseppe Paparella, Lecturer in East Asian Security at King's College London.
The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands.
This book talk was held at the Lau China Institute, King's College London on Friday 3rd Oct, hosted jointly with the Department of War Studies at King's College London and Young China Watchers.
