Interesting Times: Journey Beyond an Ancient Curse

By Raymond Fay

After spending the first eighteen months of my life in a Chinese Redwood Chest during the Japanese Invasion of Shanghai, China, in 1941, I was prepared to start my life of discovery, excitement and career development. My family and I left Shanghai in 1949 after the Chinese Communist Revolution and became immigrants. My maternal grandfather was the 8th wealthiest person in Shanghai and we left with nothing but a small bag per person, in search of a better life. My feelings of abandonment, terror, and self-reliance were discovered when I was undergoing psychoanalysis for depression during my second divorce at age 50. I was not aware that my behavior and actions were formed so early in life. Recovery from failures and successes thereafter defined my ethics and values in life. My memoirs detail personal tragedies and the struggles to find professional success, love and happiness. It was never easy.I critically examined my life and found values and ethics solid and worthy. Other may disagree but before you criticize my story, remember that ws how I remembered them.Ray Fay, M.D. is a retired board-certified urologist who practiced 35 years in San Francisco Chinatown and the greater San Francisco community.
