Book Description
Born on the eve of China’s Cultural Revolution, Ping Fu was separated from her family at the age of eight. She grew up fighting hunger and humiliation and shielding her younger sister from the teenagers in Mao’s Red Guard. At twenty-five, she found her way to the United States; her only resources were $80 and a few phrases of English. Yet Ping persevered, and the hard-won lessons of her childhood guided her to success in her new homeland. Aided by her well-honed survival instincts, a few good friends, and the kindness of strangers, she grew into someone she never thought she’d be—a strong, independent, entrepreneurial leader. “She tells her story with intelligence, verve and a candor that is often heart-rending.” —The Wall Street Journal “This well-written tale of courage, compassion, and undaunted curiosity reveals the life of a genuine hero.” —Booklist (starred review) “Her success at the American Dream is a real triumph.” —The New York Post

Book Description
***A quest fantasy/fantasy fiction adventure … The good folk of Wilstrome had lived with the ever-looming threat of the Skinkadink - or as they often refer to it, the monster in the mountains - for as long as they could remember. After a previous failed attempt to destroy the foul beast, the Skinkadink went quiet. Many believed it had succumbed to its wounds and was not seen or heard of again ... until now. Worrying talk of sightings and missing farm animals had led some to believe that it was stirring again and would wreak havoc on Wilstrome once more. The brave, sword cane fighting weasel, Plodweasel and his best friend, a rare two-footed scritch, known as Tamfoot, are tasked with forming a brave band of adventurers and undertaking a perilous quest; hunting and destroying the Skinkadink. With the aid of an orphaned boy, a young fisherman, named Brillo, they set about forming their party and ultimately, embark on an epic quest to end the monster's reign of terror.

Ping, a smooth little ball adopted by the Pong family is convinced his destiny is to be a golf champion.

With the help of Great Ping Fu, who acts as his guide and mentor, Ping encounters the lessons and mysteries of the Less Travelled Road, the Path Unknown, the Gardens of Criticism, Destruction, Forgiveness and Resentment to find his way onto the Destiny Train that sees him fulfil his potential.

Book Description
Looking at a wide swath of Chinese history and literature, this collection examines various issues stemming from immigration to America. Wang Ping conveys the voices of centuries of farmers and factory laborers, revolutionaries, writers, artists, and craftsmen. She has a unique gift for telling small stories with powerful emotional effects. The titular poem, "Ten Thousand Waves," was inspired by a tragedy that occurred on February 5, 2004. More than 20 Chinese laborers drowned in Morecambe Bay, England, when they were caught by an incoming tide. They were collecting cockles late in the evening, having been misinformed about the tidal times. The victims were undocumented immigrants, mainly from Fujian Province, China. In 2006, English filmmaker Nick Broomfield directed and produced Ghosts, a dramatic film based on the tragedy at Morecambe Bay. Not long after that, another filmmaker, Isaac Julien, commissioned Ping to write a narrative script for his film on global immigration, Small Boats. When he saw the finished poem, Julien decided to make a film installation specifically on Chinese immigration, which he entitled Ten Thousand Waves, after Ping's poem. Ten Thousand Waves has been featured at the Pace Foundation galleries in San Antonio, Texas, and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
