Bill Wallace was an American doctor who lived and worked in Wuzhou, China, from 1935 until his death at the hands of the Communists in 1951. From the moment he arrived, China was at war or threatened by war, first from the Japanese and then from the Communists. Through it all, Bill and the staff of Stout Memorial Hospital loved and cared for the people. Stout Memorial Hospital became known as "the life of China." With the start of the Korean War in July 1950, the Communists began a campaign against "American Imperialists." At rallies, Communist leaders began to denounce American "exploiters." The problem in Wuzhou was that the only American most of the Chinese knew was Bill Wallace. His life made the charges against America seem ridiculous. The Communists knew the only way to discredit America was to discredit Bill Wallace. Based on the 1963 book, "Bill Wallace of China," by Jesse Fletcher, and rewritten for kids by Ann Lovell, "Bill: An American Doctor in China" brings the true story of Bill Wallace to life for a new generation.

From war and revolution in southern China to new beginnings in Singapore, this is a moving story of a Baptist missionary couple from Oklahoma who dedicated their lives to sharing their deep faith with the people of South China. In spite of terrible sacrifice, tragedy, and hardship, they never wavered in their dedication and gained the love of many Chinese people. Louise Hill begins with her childhood and that of her husband, Eugene, in Oklahoma during the 1920s. They first met as students at Oklahoma Baptist University and quickly became soul mates in their quest for services as missionaries abroad. Married in 1934, their mission began in 1935 aboard the ocean liner "President Cleveland" heading for southern China. In Canton, they joined a well-established Baptist Mission, which included a church, seminary, school, and hospital. After a year of training in a difficult language "the like of which I never saw," they settled in to become teachers and ministers. With the Japanese invasion of 1938, they endured the constant danger of bombing, gunfire, and soldiers posted outside their front door. How they helped feed and care for refugees in dire circumstances is an amazing story of perserverance. The Hills survived and returned to the United States in 1940, only to suffer greater tragedy, the devastating loss of their son, "Little Gene." After World War II, they returned to war-ravaged Canton with their second son, John, and continued their ministry, rebuilt the shattered facilities, and helped restore the lives of their Chinese friends and neighbors. The turmoil of the Communist Revolution soon cast a pall over their efforts, eventually forcing them to leave. Unable to return to China, but not wanting to give up their work among the Chinese they had come to love and admire, they were next sent to Singapore and surrounding Malaya (now Malaysia) to face new challenges. Unlike China, there was only a very small community of Chinese Christians. In the midst of an ongoing communist insurgency, they established new churches and schools. In 1955, after several bouts of severe illness brought on by the stress of missionary work, Eugene was offered an executive position with the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board in Richmond, Virginia. Eugene and Louise worked for many years among the Chinese immigrants in Richmond and other Virginia communities. In 1980 their work helped establish the first Chinese Baptist Church in Richmond. At 91, Louise Hill still attends church today.

This stark and unsentimental recollection of childhood and coming of age in the back alleys and bustling streets of San Francisco Chinatown reveals the sinister and pervasive influences of organized crime. "Chinese Playground: A Memoir" traces author Bill Lee's maturation from innocent child in a troubled family to a street punk, gang member, and college graduate struggling to break free of his involvement in escalating violence. Lee's personal accounts of two high-profile murder incidents are engrossing. The 1977 Golden Dragon Massacre in San Francisco that left five dead and eleven wounded, was carried out by his blood-brothers who were engaged in the most violent Asian gang war in U.S. history. A decade later, a mad gunman killed seven and injured four at ESL, a high tech firm in Sunnyvale, California where Lee was employed. An unlikely hero emerges as he accepts his fate, employing his street instincts to save coworkers during the murderous rampage. Startling details on both crimes are revealed for the first time. This true story is a provocative read providing valuable insight into Chinese American culture, organized crime, distressed families, at-risk youths, personal recovery, Bay Area history, and Silicon Valley.

Born and reared in China by missionary parents, Sarah Sullivan spent little time in the States. After her schooling, she remained in China, helping her father, Dr. Frederick Sullivan, an obstetrician at the Stout Memorial Hospital in Wuchow. When the Japanese invaded China prior to World War II, life became uncertain for the missionaries, and the mission board suggested they leave. Dr. Bill Wallace insisted those with families leave first. Sarah’s family was forced to leave late one night. Only she and her father made it out of China alive. When we meet Miss Sarah, she is living alone on a farm in the South. Her attempt to hire a young black man to help her was her first encounter with racial discrimination. However, she was not prepared for the prejudice she found, even in the life of her pastor of the local Baptist church. During the time of segregation and “separate but equal” there were people both black and white who reached across those lines. I know. I was one of them, as were my parents and the wonderful people of the Baptist church where my dad served as pastor. Miss Sarah is a fictitious story, but it is an outgrowth of my experiences as a young high school boy, teaching piano at a colored one-room school during the 1950s, the example of my parents, their church, and the incredible story of Dr. Bill Wallace, medical missionary in China.

Winner of the Lionel Gelber Prize National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist An Economist Best Book of the Year | A Financial Times Book of the Year | A Wall Street Journal Book of the Year | A Washington Post Book of the Year | A Bloomberg News Book of the Year | An Esquire China Book of the Year | A Gates Notes Top Read of the Year Perhaps no one in the twentieth century had a greater long-term impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a “needle inside a ball of cotton,” Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China’s radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao’s cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China’s growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Deng’s youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920s, among a group of Chinese student-workers that also included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in 1927 to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China’s preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao—and he did not hesitate.
