A memoir by an ABC. The author is born in San Francisco and grew up in Utah, his parents emigrated to USA from Taiwan as graduate students. One of his uncles on his mother side is Richard Chang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Rujing), a successful microchip entrepreneur who invested in mainland China's emerging chip manufacturing. And his maternal grandmother is a Ginling Woman College graduate in Republic China. One of his granduncle is Fang Zhen Zhi ( https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%96%B9%E6%AD%A3%E7%9F%A5/7818279), a scientist who played important role in mainland China's atomic bomb research.
His view of mainland China in early 21st century and his view on Taiwan in the same period provided a unique vantage point from a ABC perspective. His root tracking brought him to Jindezhen, Shanghai, Taipei, Jinan, Jiujiang, Lushan Nanjing, Beijing and Hong Kong, and along the journey we got a chance to see these places in the eyes of American born Chinese.
