About this ebook

In a time of tense Chinese American relations, Filial Piety: Memoir of a Good Daughter relates a uniquely honest experience of a Chinese immigrant. Readers will be enchanted by Chinese traditions and swept into an eyewitness account of the White Terror, the Communist takeover of China, the Chinese American protests, and the obstacles of assimilating into American society.

Yet even more powerful than the historical events is the strength of family love. The narrators dedication to her family perseveres through communist, feminist, and technological revolutions; through her stress and guilt as a working mother; and through the tragedy and deathbed triumph of her parents marriage. In one magnificent breath, Filial Piety takes in two cultures, two belief systems, and two marriages to show how this important valuefilial pietyendures.

Author

Shirley Wan Yang

Shirley Yang was born on December 8, 1938, in Fu-Chien, China. In 1949, she fled with her family to Taiwan when Mao’s Communist Party took over the Chinese Mainland. She met her future husband, David, in college, and together they decided to pursue a better life in America. Over the years, she worked tirelessly to transform from a penniless foreign student to an information systems specialist at Hughes Aircraft Company, with an MBA degree from SMU in Dallas, Texas. After more than forty years in the computer industry, Shirley retired in 1997 to follow her interests in travel, fashion design, oil painting, and writing. Most of all, Shirley enjoys being a grandmother. She feels that she finally knows what matters most: besides enjoying life on earth, you have an obligation to your family, your society, and your world to make it better for future generations. In August 2014, Shirley was diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently under treatment. No matter the outcome, she feels she has not lived her life in vain.
