Title: Disappointed
Review: I couldn't wait to read this book. I'm not new to writings about China and the period following the Cultural Revolution, but was disappointed in this work. The author's observations seemed so self-serving and calculated to garner as much sympathy as possible...overkill, in other words. In fairness, I was moved by passages near the end describing the manner in which his family pulled together in their quest for higher education. At the very least, this book should make anyone thankful for all we have in the U.S.
