Manchurian American is the personal tale of Yupin Wang, who was
born in Northeast China (Manchuria) in the 1930s. He is a witness
to the Japanese invasion of China and brutal civil wars, an escapee
to Taiwan, and an accidental American who came to the United States
in the 1950s and made it. This is a poignant story of the human
spirit triumphing over obstacles of nationality, race, and time.
Manchurian American is about love, family, friendship, and
gratitude for an adopted country. Wang's personal crusade in a new,
bewildering land is as relevant today for him as it is for all
Americans who live in a land of immigrants. From his first jobs on
the boardwalk in Long Beach, Long Island, to his position as an
executive with IBM, Yupin Wang brings wonder, frustration, and
success to the story of his journey to become the Manchurian
American. This story will appeal to a wide audience: Americans with
immigrant roots, Americans who experienced war firsthand, baby
boomers, and a younger generation seeking an explanation of the
past. Both men and women will find it touching and engaging. Asians
and new immigrants to America will find it inspiring.
