Shanghai, Forever Lost is a nonfiction book based on the true stories and events of both my grandmother and mother from 1920's Shanghai to 1950's Peking. Shanghai, Forever Lost reflects the bond between mother and daughter in turmoil of war, political takeover and human tragedies. It's a book of oral history that could serve as a witness of Chinese history from the 1920's to the 1950's. With many actual photos of the time, Shanghai, Forever Lost will resonate with its readers who have an interest in mother and daughter relationship as well as life and history of China.
