Shanghai Remembrance.
Baltimore. Noble House. 2000. Stock ID #166098 "At the urging of my mother, I visited China in 1980, the first time I was able to return to my homeland in twenty-seven years. Seeing Shanghai again, where I grew up in the time spanning the war with the Japanese, the Second World War, and the civil war that led to Mao's communist regime, I was flooded with memories of my childhood. I realized that my parents were the last survivors of a way of life in China which has now vanished as violently as the destruction of the books which recorded that way of life. But, though the hand-written family histories had been destroyed, the memories of my mother, father, myself and other friends and relatives had not." - from the Author's "Introduction".
