Présentation de l'éditeur

A posthumous family memoir by QinXiao-meng. She wrote this book in 1998, from her acute memories of her brother-in-law Liu Tien Oung. As a highly-educated woman, Ms. Qin was able to participate in the intellectual circle which her brother-in-law also belonged, therefore, her insight of his life and character goes beyond the family, providing a worldly view of a man who was a aspiring student, an enthusiastic intellectual, a successful businessman, and a generous philanthropist. Ms. Qin graduated from the former University of Shanghai, and then started a four-decade-long teaching career. Among her many accomplishments, she was Professor and Vice Chairwoman of the English Department (1964-1983) of Shanghai International Studies University, and a Visiting Professor/Researcher at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1986-1989). Before she died in 2006, she lived in San Jose, California.
