The Princeling and Other Stories

By Julia Lin

The Princeling and Other Stories explores the quandaries facing the ethnic Chinese in today's Asia and North America. Each story is based on or inspired by true events. A corrupt Beijing businessman's flight to Vancouver ("Year of the Rabbit," previously published in Prism International.) A new immigrant drawn into a Canadian pyramid scheme ("Maid of Honour," to be published in Prairie Fire.) A mother and daughter navigating the complexities of international adoption. A Chinese American fighting for Taiwan after China invades the island. A condemned man's last days in a Beijing jail. A Vancouver woman's recovery from an Anti-Asian attack. And an elderly Beijinger's final days. Like Te-Ping Chen's LAND OF BIG NUMBERS, Ye Chun's HAO: STORIES, and Alexandra Chang's TOMB SWEEPING, these stories are snapshots of ordinary Chinese struggling to find their way amid a confusing whirl of changing values.
