À propos de cet audio
The dramatic real-life stories of four young people caught up in the mass exodus of Shanghai in the wake of China's 1949 Communist revolution.
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.
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 US 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.

Good historical account, frustrating format
I learned a lot about difficulties China and its people went through during this very turbulent era. I always enjoy well written factual accounts to fictional ones and this book filled that bill. The reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 was that I was having a lot of difficulty keeping the different characters and their circumstances straight as it jumped from one to the other. About 1/3 of the way through I was considering giving up but decided to start over listening to one complete account before starting a new one. This worked quite well and I was able to finish all four accounts.

Must Read
While I thought it wasn’t forceful enough it’s condemnation of communist China, it is the lived experience and life story of four amazing individuals.
The book was compelling from start to finish and should be read by every western reader to better understand a time in history that should never be forgotten.
You won’t regret picking it up.
