Book Reviews of Mr. China's Son: A Villager's Life
Book Review: Eloquently written autobiography during a henious time .
Summary: 5 Stars
The most remarkable thing that struck me about this book was the forever positive outlook Mr. He continued to have through his many trials of being and intellectual during the Cultural Rev. And an English speaking one at that. He was ill suited to the farm life he was banished to endure but his peasant wife (arranged marriage) stood by him while his true love was lost through circumstances beyond anyones control. It a story of survival that anyman could be faced with and one wonders how we would have fared. Mr. He and I have been friends and correspondents for over l0 yrs. and I have been to his home in Dali and Kunming. He is ever the positive, smiling gentleman that comes across through his pages and a credit to cross cultural friendships. A must read!
