 Thanks to my friend Becky for recommending this book. It was probably the most depressing and sad true story I have ever read. It also brought a lot of discussions with my husband and I on Chinese families and how money and status sometimes becomes far more important then love for your own children. I plan to read other books by this author and highly recommend this book to my friends.

 A beautifully written autobiography. The author writes it in a nonjudgmental way that allows the reader to freely perceive the accounts with an unbiased perspective. Motivating.

Also a good historical reference.

 Well done, but not as compelling as Wild Swans, which treats similar material.

 The story is really dramatic, but I'm not sure if the foreigners can "understand" how Chinese family worked like this.
