ABANDONED. Far Eastern Girl Protests Using "Crane" Stance

[Linda]

I've been searching for years. Book might be classified as YA, main character is Eastern, young, she appears perhaps in front of the Forbidden Palace, poses "Crane" and maybe is killed at the end? I've been searching so long, I think I've dreamed the book.
