"The new, must read China book. Rhiannon Jenkins Tsang knows China and writes with insight and passion."-Daria Berg, Professor of Chinese Culture and Society University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. It is 1949 and the Chinese Republic is collapsing under Mao Tse Tung's communist onslaught. Manying, distressed and frightened and unsure of the fate of her soldier husband, must flee Nanjing with her baby. With the help of her beloved childhood sweetheart, she finds a place on the last train leaving the city and endures a horrifying journey to Hong Kong where she is taken in by her brother and sister-in law. Grief-stricken and destitute, she struggles to make sense of the world in which she now finds herself. As she recalls the cruel fate of her uncle at a provincial court half a century earlier and all that has been lost, she makes a discovery: the past shapes the present. Fate, however, has yet more in store for her. Love, war, sacrifice, corruption and revenge all play their part in this epic story that reaches its climax in twenty-first century Shanghai.

Chiang Kai-shek was the man who lost China to the Communists. As leader of the nationalist movement, the Kuomintang, Chiang established himself as head of the government in Nanking in 1928. Yet although he laid claim to power throughout the 1930s and was the only Chinese figure of sufficient stature to attend a conference with Churchill and Roosevelt during the Second World War, his desire for unity was always thwarted by threats on two fronts. Between them, the Japanese and the Communists succeeded in undermining Chiang's power-plays, and after Hiroshima it was Mao Zedong who ended up victorious. Brilliantly re-creating pre-Communist China in all its colour, danger and complexity, Jonathan Fenby's magisterial survey of this brave but unfulfilled life is destined to become the definitive account in the English language.

Proclaimed an instant classic upon its hardcover publication, The Lost Daughters of China is at once compelling and informative. Journalist Karin Evans tells the story of adopting her daughter, Kelly, who was once one of the hundreds of thousands of infant girls who wait for parents in orphanages all over China. Weaving her personal account with extensive research, Evans investigates the conditions that have led to generations of abandoned Chinese girls and a legacy of lost women. With a new epilogue added for the paperback edition, this book will appeal to anyone interested in China and in the emotional ties that connect people regardless of genes or culture. In the words of bestselling novelist Amy Tan, The Lost Daughters of China is "not only an evocative memoir on East-West adoption but also a bridge to East-West understanding of human rights in China."

Most American books about China are written by Americans who have visited, lived, or worked in China. The authors believe that their experiences are a slice of what Chinese culture truly is. Lost In Interpretation: China Stories Told by a China Insider is not that type of book. Author Barbara Hong Li was born and raised in China but has lived and worked in the US for over twenty years, giving her a unique perspective on the similarities and differences between the two cultures. Barbara Hong Li takes questions that many Americans may have about China and reveals the history and culture surrounding the subject matter. Topics include: How have US China relations got here today? Why are the Chinese viewed secretive? Is Chinese food in American Chinese restaurants actually Chinese? Why do the Chinese drink hot water? What is the difference between the two languages of Mandarin and Cantonese? Why do Chinese parents pressure their adult children to get married? What are some of the cultural taboos in China? There have been cultural misunderstandings and misinformation about China for decades. Barbara Hong Li is on a mission to open doors between the two countries she loves. Lost In Interpretation is a step in that direction.
