“The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices” continues to resonate.

In 2025, a new Spanish edition—Las voces silenciadas—brings these powerful stories to new readers.

Let’s keep listening. And keep speaking up.

Two women. Two decades. Two chains.

Both stories raise the same haunting question:

How many such voices are still unheard?

That woman was eventually rescued—thanks to Xinran’s persistent intervention.

Xiaohuamei, too, was freed—but only after a wave of public outcry.

But this wasn’t the first time such a story surfaced.

Two decades earlier, Chinese author Xinran shared a similar case in “The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices”. A woman, shackled and mentally impaired, was kept in captivity for years.
