About

In 1951, Ningkun Wu, who was educated at the University of Chicago, enthusiastically returned to his homeland, China, to serve as a professor of English for the new Communist government. A Single Tear is the story of what he found -- an environment so hostile to Western ideas that Wu's teaching The Great Gatsby got him denounced as an "ultrarightist." It is a chilling chronicle of his twenty-two-year persecution, lengthy labor camp detention, and separation from his family. But it is also an inspiring tale (with some of the best chapters written by Wu's wife, Yikai Li) of enduring love, loyalty, and fortitude in the face of great adversity. SC, 367 pages.
