Excerpt from Our Life in China I remember that, in one of my earliest lessons in geography, I was told of a country directly underneath me, on the opposite side of the globe; and my teacher added the sage re-mark, that, if I should make a hole directly through the earth, I would come upon a very strange people, called Chinese. The idea haunted me. Some vague conceptions of the "pneumatic express" dawned upon my infant mind. Would it be possible, I wondered, to make such a small, safe tunnel, and to glide swiftly through until I could see, with my own eyes, those singular men, with hair braided down their backs, and grown-up women, with feet no larger than my own, whose food was "rats, cats, and puppies"?

The first five chapters of this book give an account of my early education, previous to going to America, where it was continued, first at Monson Academy, in Monson, Massachusetts, and later, at Yale College. The sixth chapter begins with my reëntrance into the Chinese world, after an absence of eight years. Would it not be strange, if an Occidental education, continually exemplified by an Occidental civilization, had not wrought upon an Oriental such a metamorphosis in his inward nature as to make him feel and act as though he were a being coming from a different world, when he confronted one so diametrically different? This was precisely my case, and yet neither my patriotism nor the love of my fellow-countrymen had been weakened. On the contrary, they had increased in strength from sympathy. Hence, the succeeding chapters of my book will be found to be devoted to the working out of my educational scheme, as an expression of my undying love for China, and as the most feasible method to my mind, of reformation and regeneration for her.

From the moment I learned we were moving to China to our return home, you will read about our amazing and bizarre experiences. During the years in China I had sent newsletters to family and friends about our adventures, but upon our return home many people still wanted me to write a book. Finally, I agreed to begin writing. I played on our name for the title and then began telling my story. Not only did I want to write about our experiences, I also wanted it to be a help to those going to live or do business in a very different culture upside-down from what we consider normal. Consequently, I have written Life In China as a cross between a memoir and a travel book. I hope it is a helpful source for those going there to live or tour and an enjoyable story for those who arent.

A graphic memoir like no other: the true story of a marriage in China that spanned the twentieth century, told in vibrant, original paintings and prose. WINNER OF AN ENGLISH PEN AWARD Rao Pingru was a twenty-six-year-old soldier when he first saw the beautiful Mao Meitang. One glimpse of her through a window as she put on lipstick was enough to capture Pingru’s heart. It was a moment that sparked a union that would last almost sixty years. But when Meitang passed away in 2008, Pingru realised that their marriage and all the small moments and memories of a life together, would be lost to history. And so at the age of eighty-eight, in an outpouring of love and grief, Pingru began to paint. Our Story is a memorial to Pingru and Meitang’s epic romance, told through Pingru’s exquisitely detailed paintings and handwritten notes. We see Pingru and Meitang through the decades, through both poverty and good fortune, and as they grow so too does China: the nation undergoing political turmoil and seismic cultural change. A tale both tragic and inspiring, of enduring love and simple values, Our Story is an old-fashioned romance that unfolds within the rush of a rapidly changing nation. A love letter, a work of folk art and a historical testament, Our Story is a truly unique graphic memoir. 'A beautifully warm, personal, human story of life, love and family' Forbidden Planet
