This is a true story you were never meant to read. Memories of events recounted here were expected to die with those who lived them, to fade with time. But the tale survived -- and now it is told on the record for the first time. "Escape from Shanghai" reveals the conspiracy Jane Sun discovered at the highest levels of Chinese government during World War II, and tells the story of the courageous things that she did to combat the corruption. A biography that reads like a spy thriller, it follows Jane's behind-the-scenes struggles to bring down a corrupt governor, and it recounts the brutality and terror she and her young son encountered during their efforts to escape from the invading Japanese. "Escape from Shanghai" reveals what could not be disclosed until after Jane's death. This book exposes secrets that China's Nationalist Government has successfully covered up for almost seven decades-until now. This is a must-read for every scholar of Chinese history. The book is compelling, thrilling, and intriguing. "Escape from Shanghai" is accomplished author and award-winning writer-producer-director Paul C. Huang's account of his mother's life. Written with flair, attention to detail, and obvious passion, "Escape from Shanghai" is a historic memoir that reads like flawless fiction. A powerfully presented book, it's sure to appeal to a wide variety of readers, including history buffs; fans of suspense novels and conspiracy theories; and anyone interested in stories about courage, conflict, and perseverance.

A must-read for those with strong interest in the history of the Cultural Revolution upheavals in 1960s-70s China. This is a novel about oppression and misery, about struggle and survival, about escape and escapism, about hope and despair, about love and sex. It is a work of great realism and brilliant description. It rings so shockingly true that you can't even tell fiction from reality. It may very well be a real-life story!

The dramatic real life stories of four young people caught up in the mass exodus of Shanghai in the wake of China’s 1949 Communist revolution—a heartrending precursor to the struggles faced by emigrants today. “A true page-turner . . . [Helen] Zia has proven once again that history is something that happens to real people.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa See NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR • FINALIST FOR THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father’s dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. “Zia’s portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side.”—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

The experiences and attitudes of a man who lived under Chinese Communism, rising to a position of importance before his decision to flee to the West, whose story describes much of life and society under Maoism. Robert Loh is the first educated Chinese to give a view from the inside of life in Red China. Son of a well-to-do family who was sent to study political science in the United States during the period when the authority of the Nationalist Government was disintegrating, Loh chose to return to Shanghai to contribute what he could toward reshaping China into a major world power. Robert Loh is at pains to make clear that he could not have survived, and indeed lived a relatively privileged life in communist China without giving in to much that he hated and despised.
