I have very fond memories of spending the school holidays of Summer 1995 reading Wild Swans by Jung Chang and then in the midst of reading that The Blue Kite turning up on television, both of which sort of gave me a rather brutal crash course in 20th century Chinese history (which helped when Farewell My Concubine turned up on television as the big Christmas Day film of that same year! Well, you had the choice between that or Indecent Proposal on at the same time, but who in their right mind would choose Indecent Proposal out of those two films?)
That was a great Christmas - I was 9 and my grandad got me Batman Forever on VHS!
