520    "When journalist Scott Tong moved to Shanghai, his 
       assignment was to start up the first full-time China 
       bureau for “Marketplace,” the daily business and 
       economics program on public radio stations across the 
       United States. But for Tong the move became much more—it 
       offered the opportunity to reconnect with members of his 
       extended family who had remained in China after his 
       parents fled the communists six decades prior. By 
       uncovering the stories of his family’s history, Tong 
       discovered a new way to understand the defining moments of
       modern China and its long, interrupted quest to go global.
       A Village with My Name offers a unique perspective on the 
       transitions in China through the eyes of regular people 
       who have witnessed such epochal events as the toppling of 
       the Qing monarchy, Japan’s occupation during World War II,
       exile of political prisoners to forced labor camps, mass 
       death and famine during the Great Leap Forward, market 
       reforms under Deng Xiaoping, and the dawn of the One Child
       Policy. Tong’s story focuses on five members of his family
       , who each offer a specific window on a changing country: 
       a rare American-educated girl born in the closing days of 
       the Qing Dynasty, a pioneer exchange student, an abandoned
       toddler from World War II who later rides the wave of 
       China’s global export boom, a young professional climbing 
       the ladder at a multinational company, and an orphan (the 
       author’s daughter) adopted in the middle of a baby-selling
       scandal fueled by foreign money. Through their stories, 
       Tong shows us China anew, visiting former prison labor 
       camps on the Tibetan plateau and rural outposts along the 
       Yangtze, exploring the Shanghai of the 1930s, and touring 
       factories across the mainland. With curiosity and 
       sensitivity, Tong explores the moments that have shaped 
       China and its people, offering a compelling and deeply 
       personal take on how China became what it is today."--
