Brief to a New Book
“Life Journey through Three Regimes, Two Countries, and Two Systems”
This book is an autobiography. It vividly describes author’s complex life journey. The author was born in a remote mountain village in China. He went to a university in Beijing and worked in Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing for many years after graduation. The author came to study in the United States of America in 1981, obtained Ph. D in physics. He later taught at American universities. He went from the son of a farmer in a mountain village to a professor in the United States of America. His childhood was in the era of Kuomintang rule, of Communist Mao Zedong rule, and then of Deng Xiaoping’s reform. The United States is his current country of citizenship and residence. He loves this country. But it somehow is still like a foreign country to him. The United States is also typical of the capitalist system. So the author experienced three regimes and two countries and two systems. In his earlier life, it is the richest part of Chinese history and also the richest part of world history. He has been through all these.
The course of his life is very complex, rich, and colorful. A lot of living things happen at his feet. These stories have love and hate, there is history, and there is something personal. Among them, there is success, there is failure, there is experience, there is a lesson, and its path is rondo and fold. Sometimes it is smooth sailing, sometimes the waves roll, sometimes it is breezy and sunny, and sometimes is stormy.
In 1994, the author returned to his long-lost hometown. This was the second time he had come back after nearly twenty years. The last time was in 1975. The author saw his classmates and friends when he was a kid. Of course, the American professor returning to his hometown still caused a lot of sensation in the village. Some people who used to bully his family had also come to visit. After a few decades, the hometown had been unrecognizable. After the reform and opening up, the people’s lives had improved considerably.
However, local governments were lacking environmental awareness and the concept of uniform logging. The construction of houses was extremely disorganized, turning the beautiful mountain village into a mess. The author was very sad seeing this. He is always dreaming. If he has hundreds of millions of dollars, he must first go to transform his hometown. He is going to dedicate this book to his hometown. If only his book could be published, he is going to use all his contributions as a fund to raise money for rebuilding his hometown.
