Tang Shuxiu and her husband are on an 800-mile train journey from
Beijing to Shifang, where they believe their only child has
perished in a recent earthquake. Three days after the event, Tang
is too dehydrated to cry. Liu Ting becomes a national hero when he
brings his mother to college, a celebration of filial piety in a
nation that now legally compels adult children to visit their
elderly parents. Tian Qingeng and his parents are deeply in debt.
They have bought an apartment they hope will improve his
eligibility in a nation that has 30 million bachelors, or 'bare
branches'. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mei Fong has spent
eight years documenting the effects of the one-child policy across
all of Chinese society. In this critically acclaimed account, she
weaves together personal stories, history and politics to produce
an extraordinary, evocative investigation into how the policy has
changed China and why the repercussions will be felt across the
world for decades to come.
