Title: An inspiring story
Product review: This book opens with a description of the author's childhood in rural China. It describes a world of tremendous poverty and hardship and paradoxically of great human dignity and family love. I found it to be tremendously informative and moving.In fact there are throughout the book descriptions of family and other human relationships which inspire and move. There is a kind of respect reverence and decency in the whole tone and manner of the author.In one sense the story is a Horatio Alger one, of a poor boy who by hard work 'makes it' in the big world. But along with this it provides a description of life in the China of Mao's time, and a portrait of a single Chinese family which is sympathetic and rich.The loyalty to family members, to the place from which he comes , to his parents and siblings and teachers make this seem like a modern morality tale in which somehow virtue is rewarded.A clearly and honestly told most inspiring story.
