"Red Circle: China and Me, " 1949-2009 tells the
fascinating story of Stephen Chen and his family. It sketches the
history of the People’s Republic of China, not merely as a
backdrop, but as the driving force of the book’s action. "Red
Circle "chronicles the rise and fall and rise again of an
extraordinary family. At the same time, it is only one of countless
stories that could be told by many millions of Chinese. It tells of
the hope, turmoil, and terror in the first 30 years of the PRC and
of the transformation, transition, and achievement in the last 30
years. "Red Circle is "the first work of its kind to cover the
making of modern China. The 60-year cycle encompassed by "Red
Circle" is the basis of the traditional Chinese calendar,
astrology, and cosmology. The cyclical nature of life and a return
to one’s roots are fundamental elements in Stephen’s story. The
ways in which his life reflects and completes that of his father,
the stunning symmetries and recurring cycles of "Red Circle" make
for a remarkable read. Stephen has seen China from a range
of vantage points that few others have experienced. From the palace
he grew up in to brutal labor camps to corporate boardrooms, from
stark prisons to secret government offices, Stephen has witnessed
history. "Red Circle" is, however, more than the tale of how a
family survives or a nation emerges. At its heart, "Red Circle" is
a thrilling testament to the indomitable will and unconquerable
spirit of the individual.
