Description

Autographed copy of Confucius Never Said, A four-generation family journey from repression and poverty to freedom and prosperity. 2015 Silver Winner – Benjamin Franklin Award (IBPA) 


This remarkable book tells the true story of one family’s four-generation journey—from rural poverty and political repression in Communist China to freedom and opportunity in the United States. Spanning some of the most pivotal events in modern Chinese history—like the founding of Communist China, the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution, and the post-1980 economic reforms—this narrative offers a rare, deeply personal window into life under totalitarian rule.


The author’s great-grandfather was persecuted simply for owning land. Her grandfather lost his independence after supporting the Party. Her father, though highly educated, was punished for refusing to conform. And the author herself, after growing up under these conditions, immigrated to America in pursuit of freedom—and found it.


This is more than a family memoir—it’s a testament to human resilience, a celebration of freedom, and a wake-up call about what’s at stake when liberty is lost.


Perfect for history buffs, freedom lovers, or anyone who appreciates stories of triumph against the odds.
