Bend, Not Break: A Life In Two Worlds (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

The usual caveats about memoir apply, but Ping Fu tells of an extraordinary life growing up in China's Cultural Revolution, then becoming a successful computer scientist and entrepreneur in America. Her business success is not a particularly interesting part of the book -- the work her company does in digital modeling is fascinating, but her life as a business owner is fairly mundane. It's her childhood in China that's gripping. Fu presents a clear-eyed portrait of the nastiness of the Cultural Revolution, and I can't imagine surviving what she did with my mind and heart intact. She did, and the lessons she's drawn from her own life are worth learning. I loved this book and was very moved by it. I am surprised to see all the negative comments, but they appear to be mostly from Chinese readers, so I am not sure who to believe. I don't see why Ping Fu would have any reason to lie. She does state that some of the details are fuzzy in her mind, because she was a child. I am very inspired by Ping's life and all that she has accomplished. I heartily recommend this book.
