Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang.

It's an autobiographical history which recounts the lives of the author, her mother, and her grandmother throughout an extremely transformational century in Chinese history.

I went into this knowing little to no Chinese history, and it has opened my eyes to this fascinating country. I hope to visit China for the first time in 2027. Before I go, I'm doing a deep dive into Chinese history. Open to recommendations on what to read next!

The article doesn't make that claim. For example, the service n7 is used by multiple other nodes, namely n3 and n4. There is no cycle there, so it's okay.
