Full Description

The compelling personal account of Dr. Wu Jieping (1917 - 2011), one of China's most prestigious Physicians, who experienced the great revolution of the old China and developed from a former style of intellectual into a national leader of the new China. Dr. Wu established his global reputation in the field of Urology with significant medical achievements. His thought-provoking reflections, shared with his friend the author Olivia Cox-Fill, illustrate the lifestyle and demands of the hierarchy against a background of the conditions experienced by the populus, at a time when people disappeared unaccountably and mistrust became a tool for survival. Relating his journey from Jiangsu province to Beijing via the University of Chicago, the account reveals the ultimate effect on Dr. Wu's family life. This unique insight makes compelling reading for anyone wishing to discover the life of an intellectual at the highest echelons of China in the 20th Century. The new edition concludes with the author's reflections on the experiences of Dr. Wu and invites readers to consider the parallels with life in the 21st Century.
