Title
An "AmericanSpy" Father and His Daughter in Communist China: The Hopes of Two Generations,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Born in Beijing, China in 1955, Yuci Tan and her "Americanspy" father lived through very difficult times together during the Cultural Revolution, which began in 1966 and lasted for ten years. Her Chinese father raised in Hong Kong and educated in a Christian school worked as editor and English translator for China's International News Agency. During the Cultural Revolution, her father was incarcerated as a disloyal traitor a spy for the Americans (untrue!) and the authorities ordered her to cut off all relationship with him. In this provocative and vividly descriptive narrative, Yuci Tan details the many facets of 1970s Chinese society and the hardships endured by common people under the Communist regime. All the while, her father, under intense political pressure and scrutiny, somehow managed to singlehandedly raise and educate her, as only a totally committed and loving father could. Despite these hardships, Yuci Tan consulted her inner world for guidance and stood up to the authorities in support of her father. Although the government forced her to be reeducated through hard labor, she took a unique look at things. She learned to value every present moment to minimize her suffering. More than an insider's history of Mao's regime, An "AmericanSpy" Father is a moving and memorable expose, featuring the colorful lives of many forgotten people. Yuci Tan offers therapeutic insights along the way, and used these experiences to pursue her dream of ultimately becoming a doctor and fulfilling the dreams of two generations. At heart, her personal story is a daughter's loving appreciation for an unforgettably kind and wise father. "With vivid detail, Yuci Tan reveals the story of her childhood, her father's persecution under China's Cultural Revolution, and their struggle to survive. An amazing and eyeopening story!" S.B. "A posthumous discovery leads Dr. Tan to a deeper understanding of her father. Her account is powerful for its honesty and love." K.B. "More than just a deeply moving memoir, this is a book of how one can get lost without losing themselves in the process. A great read. Yuci Tan is a wonderful example of compassion, forgiveness and love. I love this book!" K.E.C. "Strength from adversity. An eyeopening look behind the Great Wall during the Cultural Revolution." J.M. "Raised by her loving father in the face of a hateful stepmother and sustained by him and her own closest friend through the nightmares of the Cultural Revolution, Yuci Tan suffers and overcomes seemingly endless adversity, including her own bitterness, to become an exemplary daughter, mother, psychotherapist, storyteller, and purveyor of wisdom. Inspiring." M.B.
