O knihe
In Moving Mountains, Brian Chang relates his incredible journey out of an impoverished childhood during China's Cultural Revolution and his years of hardship on a collective farm to the success and happiness he found in America. Told in a lively and original voice, Chang's memoir reveals the history and politics of his era through the eyes of a deeply observant and determined young man. He brings to life the many people who helped shape his improbable destiny-his mother who skipped meals to clothe and feed her children, Mr. Wu who risked persecution to share his knowledge, and "Grandma" Mary McQuillan who welcomed him into her Minnesota home. His love of learning propels him forward as he overcomes one challenge after another, facing each with character, ingenuity and courage. As his longtime friend Adam Pillsbury writes: This story is an ode to hope in the face of adversity and an inspiring illustration of how far a person can travel, physically and metaphorically, in a single lifetime.
