Fascinating picture of village life in rural China

I was Suoqun's friend at Penn in the early 80's. I had no idea then of his humble backround. He was so smart, so kind and gentle. He never revealed his background to me. I wish he had, but now, reading this fascinating autobiography of his, written in his own, simple, straightforward voice, it's almost as if I had him here telling me the story of his life himself. Readers who want a true portrayal of village life from rural Northwest China in the 60's and 70's will find this book fascinating.

A Village Boy From China

For me it was great reading. I knew the author who recently passed away and I could hear each word on the pages seemingly coming straight from my friend's mouth, it was a great way to ease his passing. His experiences in his early years of life in a village with limited luxuries was amazing, specially knowing how far he came in life. There were many laughs throughout the book due to his innocence and expressions of love and respect towards his family and also true love when finally meeting the one. I for one wish the story of A Village Boy from China would have continued through his old age but unfortunately that was not to be. I will miss that Village Boy from China.
