During the height of China’s one-child policy, 15-yr-old Mei Zi, the second daughter of an impoverished couple, leaves her farming village in search of a better life. With minimal education and no skills, dangerous factory jobs are her only means of income until an elusive businessman lures her a thousand miles from home. At first dazzled by Shanghai, she quickly discovers this city of twenty-six million has its own brand of desperation. Finding herself penniless and on the brink of starvation, a stranger’s single act of kindness sets Mei Zi on an extraordinary journey that will lead her halfway across the world.
Spanning five decades, this astonishing true story of a mother’s boundless love and a daughter’s incredible courage is a testament to hope, resilience, and the power of family. |
