Sisters Jun and Hong were best friends growing up in 1930s China, but when political revolution fractured the nation, Jun found herself exiled in Taiwan, married to a Nationalist general. Hong, meanwhile, was an ocean away on the mainland, forced to publicly disavow her family and submit to “re-education.” Jun established a successful trading company, while Hong became a prominent physician.
