Publisher's Summary

This heart-wrenching story immerses listeners in the dramatic survival of one outspoken man who illuminates the souls of a billion ordinary Chinese citizens.

An Wei - a stubborn, hardworking peasant who has lived by his values and stood up for his convictions­ - has succeeded against all odds in the authoritarian environment of China. Despite grinding poverty, hunger, reeducation campaigns, and attacks from jealous peers, An Wei continues to inspire with his daring achievements, such as launching a democratic congress in his own village. His compelling life provides a vivid backdrop for understanding the development of modern China from the unique perspective of an outspoken citizen.

Through his audacious determination and survival skills forged in rural poverty, An Wei's unstoppable drive to improve himself and rural China will captivate and enthrall listeners.
