Description:

Their will to survive and keep their family together, as well as a determination to find happiness in their homeland, remained constant throughout these difficult years. In the words of the author, this memoir was written to answer one question: "Have I suffered and survived in vain?" His answer is this intensely personal and beautifully written story that succeeds in giving a comprehensive account of the first four turbulent decades of Communist rule and offers important insights into understanding life in contemporary China. A Single Tear not only foretells such tragedies as the Tiananmen Square massacre but persists as a protest against the mistreatment of a people by its government. It is a story of suffering, but also of endurance and love. A Single Tear is an important contribution to the literature of dissident voices all over the world.
