About this ebook
Emily Wu’s account of her childhood under Mao opens on her third birthday, as she meets her father for the first time in a concentration camp. A well-known academic, her father had been designated an “ultra-rightist” and class enemy. As a result, Wu’s family would be torn apart and subjected to unending humiliation and abuse. Wu recounts this hidden holocaust in which millions of children and their families died. Feather in the Storm is an unforgettable story of the courage of one child in a quicksand world of endless terror.

Here again, Larry assisted Asian Chinese in disclosing the inner part of their mind. I am impressed by Larry's work and persistent kindness and concern with human's diginity. His work will be worthy in history. It is so touching and shock to people's haert, I wish Emily can visit D.C. area again and intriduce her book to more readers here. What was done, there must be a print. I can see and hear her work arise many yellings.
