Phenomenal
I could not put this book down when I first started reading it. It is inspiring and shows you what can be accomplished when you use your potential
Truly Inspirational !
Born in China in 1927, Rose felt, from an early age, enormous burden of responsibility, but she always seemed to know what she had to do. The spunky Rose chose the path of most resistance and continued with tremendous courage, hope, and determination on that journey against all odds. In 1949, as the communists approached Shanghai in China's civil war, Rose escaped on the last flights out of Shanghai to Hong Kong, then to the US. As her American-educated scholar father and her very religious mother suffered under the communist China, the young Rose struggled alone through financial hardship, racial and gender discrimination in the foreign America. She eventually earned both PhD and MD degrees with honors and made significant contributions to the fields of medicine and science. Throughout the book, Rose examplified passion and devotion for whatever she does and of self-less love and sacrifice for her family. This memoir reminds us that perseverance will lead to the light at the end of the tunnel. Rose's life inspires each of us to set higher standards for ourselves. Overall, vivid, captivating, and well written.
" 'I can't' is not in your vocabulary",my father told me.
This book is a true story of my life and is written in simple, easy to read English so that more people can enjoy it. I have indeed led an extraordinary life. This book touches on some indiosycrasies of Old China.
The ingenuity and the climb of an impoverished youg girl(myself) to the heights of Academia and my Profession should serve as an inspiration to readers of all ages, not to simply accept fate as it comes but to conquer all odds by studying and working hard to achieve one's dreams.
