Last Boat Out of Shanghai
Jan 31, 7:30pm, Powell’s City of Books (1005 W Burnside St,
Portland). Join Helen Zia as she presents Last Boat Out of
Shanghai, a poignant human angle to the experiences of
refugees. Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its
richest, most modern city. The bustling metropolis was home to
sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle
class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from
the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would
wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to
fled in every direction. Seventy years later, the last generation to
fully recall this massive exodus has opened the story to
Chinese-American journalist Zia, who interviewed hundreds of
exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous
events of the 20th century. From these moving accounts, Zia
weaves the story of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled
with the decision to abandon everything as refugees in Hong
Kong, Taiwan, and the U.S. The book event is sponsored by the
Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO). For info,
call (503) 228-4651 or visit <www.powells.com>.
