Anchee Min or Min Anqi ({{zh|t=閔安琪|p=Mǐn Ānqí}}; born January 14, 1957 in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese-American author who lives in San Francisco and Shanghai. Min has published two memoirs, Red Azalea and A Memoir, and six historical novels. Her fiction emphasizes strong female characters, such as Jiang Qing, the wife of chairman Mao Zedong, and Empress Dowager Cixi, the last ruling empress of China.

Life

Min was born in Shanghai on January 14, 1957. Her parents were both teachers.[1] She was nine years old when the Cultural Revolution began.[2] As a child, she was a member of the Little Red Guards and was made to report her favourite teacher, who was an anti-Maoist, to the authorities.[2]

When Min was 17, she was sent to a collective farm[3] near the East China Sea, where she endured horrific conditions and worked 18-hour days.[2] Eventually, she suffered a spinal cord injury.[2] She began an affair with the commander at her camp, a woman named Yin, although she attributes the affair largely to loneliness.

At the collective farm, Min was discovered by a team of talent scouts from the Shanghai Film Studio and was selected to become an actress for her ideal "proletarian good looks."[4] She eventually won the lead role in a propaganda film inspired by Madame Mao.[4] However, the film was never completed.[4] After Mao Zedong's death and the subsequent fall of Jiang Qing,[4] Min was ostracized and treated badly. She was depressed and considered suicide.[4] With the assistance of her friend, American actress Joan Chen, and the sponsorship of her aunt living in Singapore, Min obtained a passport and applied to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[4] She then emigrated to the United States. As she was initially entering the country, she was nearly deported when it was discovered that, contrary to what she had put on her visa application, she did not speak English. However, she was able to convince the immigration officer to allow her to enter into the country.[5]

After moving to the US, Min worked five jobs at the same time[2][6] and learned English by watching Sesame Street.[2][7]

Min married a Chinese immigrant with whom she had her only daughter, although she described the marriage as 'reluctant.'[2]

She graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in Fine Arts.[8]

She was married to author Lloyd Lofthouse.[9] She has a daughter named Lauryann Jiang who attends Stanford University.[10]
