Hard Cover in Dj. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.446. Shanghai has historically been China's jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao's proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father's dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. "Zia's portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side."Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good +. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good +. Second printing. Inscribed and signed by the author, in Chinese and English, on the title page. The Chinese translates to "To Z-- and J-- / Please look at the absurdity of Americans / Wen Ho Lee / March 8, 2009."

Lee (b. 1939) is a Taiwanese-American nuclear scientist who was charged in 1999 with 59 counts of stealing secrets for the Chinese, in a case that fell apart for lack of evidence (one appeals court judge said that high-level executive branch officials "embarrassed our nation"). In 2006 Lee won a $1.6 million civil suit against the feds and five media outlets. The book is unmarked; spine slightly cocked; corners sharp, spine ends bumped.
