My Forty Years in East China and West America

Philip Fei Wu was born in the outskirts of Shanghai, the "Venice of the East," where he lived the first 35 years of his life and endured the Chinese political turbulence. From his teens, all throughout early adulthood, the author experienced the worst of human cruelty and madness in China during the government transition and "cultural revolution." My Forty Years in East China and West America is Philip Wu's story in English, rewritten from the original Chinese version.
