There's an excellent book about Cixi, which I think sheds a lot of light to her life and decissions. I totally concur with the book that she wasn't that bad, but in fact  a lot of the stories about her were fabricated. It's well worth checking out! It's called Dragon Lady: The Life and Legend of the Last Empress of China by Sterling Seagrave.

Thank you for a great interview! It's great to hear ordinary people speak, particularly with an accent. Please do more interviews! :)
