So much of this book defies belief. Here is just a small sampling:
- In spite of growing up in a dictatorship, where presumably people reported each other for anti-Communist activities and there would be no trust, and in spite of having been (supposedly) gang raped, we are expected to believe her first act upon arrival in the US would be to get in a car with a strange male
- She smacks someone for grabbing her behind while waitressing, and it turns out to be none other than Sly Stallone
- Her thesis for an undergrad degree in literature was on ... China's one child policy
- This same thesis, supposedly critical of the policy, was not only okayed by her professor, but actually published by the university
- Said thesis was supposedly the work that brought female infanticide to the attention of Chinese national media (who were apparently allowed to publish the related story) and then international media
- For this act, she was kidnapped off the street, bag over the head and all by the authorities ... for bringing shame to the regime... but later not only released without incident but got to leave the country
- But not before she happened to meet a kind female police officer who, with a bit of subterfuge that includes meeting in a secret location and temporarily hiding (apparently the only copies of) state documents that said she had additional black marks on her record (seriously), helps her get a passport.
Just a small sampling, as I said. Avoid this book
