What courage does it take to leave everything behind and begin again on the other side of the world?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this powerful \u003cb\u003ememoir of a Chinese immigrant mother\u003c\/b\u003e, Abby L. Jiang tells the unforgettable story of her childhood in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution and her life as an immigrant in America.\u003cbr\u003eFrom a secure home filled with tradition to the terrifying raids of the Red Guards, Jiang recalls the fear, loss, and resilience of a family accused of being \"capitalist\" in a society that demanded absolute obedience. This is not just a \u003cb\u003eShanghai childhood memoir\u003c\/b\u003e but also a record of survival-of what it meant to grow up under Mao's China in the 1960s, to endure separation, and to hold on to hope.\u003cbr\u003eAs she moves from \u003cb\u003elife in Shanghai under Mao\u003c\/b\u003e to building a new life in the United States, Jiang confronts the struggles of raising her daughter between two cultures. It is a story of sacrifice, determination, and the enduring strength of family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Bumpy Road\u003c\/b\u003e is more than a \u003cb\u003ehistorical memoir of China\u003c\/b\u003e-it is also a \u003cb\u003etrue story of immigration\u003c\/b\u003e, of resilience across generations, and of the pursuit of education and freedom.
