Colors of the Mountain: A Memoir by Da Chen, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Trade Paperback Edition, 2001.


Escaping Poverty

The author was born into a peasant family. He looked forward to a lifetime of backbreaking agricultural work and poverty. However, being intelligent and obtaining a good education enabled him to escape that life, and eventually to escape Communist China and come to the United States. Highly recommended.
