Same as the author's Chinese novels published respectively in
California, China, and Taiwan, this English version tells about a
Dr. Wang's rocky emotional life. He has been romantically involved
with three women at different phases of life. His first adolescent
love was an American girl, Cox, who is born in China. In his
twenties he meets Dr. Wu, his second love. Both end abruptly
against their will in pain because of politics. After barely
surviving the cultural Revolution, he comes to America in the late
1970s. Here he meets a young nurse, Guan, from Hong Kong, but
twenty years younger. At ending of the story, Dr. Wang and these
three women have a chance to meet at a party in Los Angeles. The
unspoken passions between Wang and his former loves have persisted
across the Pacific over the years. The congregation learns that the
50-year-old bachelor will marry one of the three women. The reunion
is bitter and sweet. It reflects Dr. Wang's miseries in his life,
an epitome of China's modern history, like 'Dr. Zhivago' for the
Russians. What we see here is a special slant on China's modern
history that would lead to the current rapid rise, a reaction to
its darkest age showcased by Dr. author uses knowledge of the
subconscious to create the characters and dreams to enrich the
expression in the novel. It was marked by a Chinese national
psychiatric journal as 'A living textbook in psychodynamics.
