Philip Fei Wu was born in the outskirts of Shanghai, the "Venice of
the East," where he lived the first 35 years of his life and
endured the Chinese political turbulence. From his teens, all
throughout early adulthood, the author experienced the worst of
human cruelty and madness in China during the government transition
and "cultural revolution." Wu underwent a tremendous amount of
hardship and risked his freedom to educate himself, a pursuit that
would have surely ended in his prosecution. In the early 1980s, he
came to America as an international student where he was faced with
culture shock, financial instability, and the never-ending fear of
his uncertain future. Only the author himself could bring to life
the sadness, courage, disappointment and triumph of his trials and
tribulations in this very personal memoir. My Forty Years in East
China and West America is Philip Wu's story in English, rewritten
from the original Chinese version. Characterized by the comparison
of different ways of thinking among Chinese and American people,
between communist and capitalist societies, the book includes many
insightful stories. The courage to fight in adversity,
perseverance, decision-making, will power, an optimistic attitude,
and a respect for God, Wu demonstrates these virtues and brings to
life his innumerable struggles.
