Book Synopsis Finding My Way: an American Maverick in China by : David Raddock
Download or read book Finding My Way: an American Maverick in China written by David Raddock and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the People's Republic of China, we don't like individualists," Mr. Chen, the unit head, tells the author as Raddock describes his needs. The author learns the hard way that China's pervasive authoritarian and police controls can be treacherous stumbling blocks to free movement and accomplishment.This is a different sort of memoir. It is a very personal story about myself as a man who spent years studying China and the Chinese language and then found this career path had allowed him to interact with China and the Chinese people from the perspective of different roles.Learning about the ways in which my own personality intervened in the process was at times amusing and at times very painful. Writing this book was a truly private enterprise. It is now meant to illumine what it is like in the deeper but even routine sense of getting along in mainland Chinese society.
Book Synopsis Growing up Chinese by : Stephen Ling
Download or read book Growing up Chinese written by Stephen Ling and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GROWING UP CHINESE is a lively book with a funny, thoroughly enlightened author doing his best to tell his story and the story of one Chinese village in Malaya with tremendous insight, detail and compassion. The diverse culture in the land has emerged through multiple voices that the author struggled with in this coming-of-age memoir. He orchestrates all these voices to depict the complex life of growing up in a truly multicultural world. Most remarkably, this is the story of the American dream an ocean away from America. A young man born into poverty seeks a better life for himself by working hard and developing his innate talents to their fullest. He seeks to create and define his own life. Shades of Horatio Alger and Oliver Twist, this is an indelibly unforgettable story of one young mans quest for freedom, an education and a new life, a struggle by one undaunted by lifes hurdles and vicissitudes.

Download or read book Bend, Not Break written by Ping Fu and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the eve of China’s Cultural Revolution, Ping Fu was separated from her family at the age of eight. She grew up fighting hunger and humiliation and shielding her younger sister from the teenagers in Mao’s Red Guard. At twenty-five, she found her way to the United States; her only resources were $80 and a few phrases of English. Yet Ping persevered, and the hard-won lessons of her childhood guided her to success in her new homeland. Aided by her well-honed survival instincts, a few good friends, and the kindness of strangers, she grew into someone she never thought she’d be—a strong, independent, entrepreneurial leader. “She tells her story with intelligence, verve and a candor that is often heart-rending.” —The Wall Street Journal “This well-written tale of courage, compassion, and undaunted curiosity reveals the life of a genuine hero.” —Booklist (starred review) “Her success at the American Dream is a real triumph.” —The New York Post

Book Synopsis Maury Maverick by : Richard B. Henderson
Download or read book Maury Maverick written by Richard B. Henderson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maury Maverick was possibly the first liberal United States Congressman from Texas to achieve national and even international stature. A dedicated Democrat, he was ready to attack Franklin D. Roosevelt whenever he felt that Roosevelt was flagging in his enthusiasm for reform. He was honest to the point of rudeness, and he belonged to the "damn the torpedoes" class that pulled ahead regardless of political consequences. He was at home with the literate—he was a prodigious writer and speaker—but always ready to puncture their pretensions. And he could cuss with sailors, pecan shellers, and any breed of saloon keeper. Put all that together with a short, stocky, bulldog frame, a fierce face and a voice to match, and you have one of the nation's more colorful political figures.

Download or read book Tide Players written by Jianying Zha and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tide Players, acclaimed New Yorker contributor and author Jianying Zha depicts a new generation of movers and shakers who are transforming modern China. Through half a dozen sharply etched and nuanced profiles, Tide Players captures both the concrete detail and the epic dimension of life in the world’s fastest-growing economy. Zha’s vivid cast of characters includes an unlikely couple who teamed up to become the country’s leading real-estate moguls; a gifted chameleon who transformed himself from Mao’s favorite “barefoot doctor” during the Cultural Revolution to a publishing maverick; and a tycoon of home-electronic chain stores who insisted on avenging his mother, who had been executed as “a counter-revolutionary criminal.” Alongside these entrepreneurs, Zha also brings us the intellectuals: a cantankerous professor at China’s top university; a former cultural minister turned prolific writer; and Zha’s own brother, a dissident who served a nine-year prison term for helping to found the China Democracy Party. Deeply engaging, lucid, and poignant, Zha’s insightful “insider-outsider” portraits offer a picture of a China that few Western readers have seen before. Tide Players is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand today’s China.
