Bend, Not Break: From Mao’s China to the White House
Ping Fu
One woman’s journey from Mao’s China to the White House
Ping Fu was born on the eve of China’s Cultural Revolution; aged just eight she was taken from the arms of her loving family. She suffered appalling treatment and was denied an education. For ten years she lived in bleak dormitories, while protecting her younger sister from Mao’s Red Guards.
She survived, even succeeding in gaining admission to university. Yet, her education brought unwanted political attention and she was forced into exile. Arriving in the United States, speaking just three words in English, she set about making her fortune …
Bend, Not Break tells the incredible personal story of a journey from imprisonment to freedom, from the dogmatic anticapitalism of Mao’s China to the high-stakes world of technology start-ups in the US. It is a tribute to one woman’s courage in the face of cruelty, and a valuable lesson on the enduring power of resilience.
