Reseña del libro "Golden Orchid: The True Story of an Only Child in Contemporary China (en Inglés)"
Amid the hustle and bustle of teeming contemporary Guangzhou (also known as Canton), capital of Guangdong province, an ordinary blue-collar Chinese family of three copes with a life-threatening crisis. As an only child-the product of China s harsh one-child policy-the daughter of the family must care for her mother who is in the late stage of colon cancer. This is the story of that struggle. That child takes the reader back in time to see the marriage of her parents through the eyes of an only child. Growing up alone without the love and support of a sibling, how does the only child bear the filial responsibility so deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture? How does she deal with the dilemma of keeping secret from her mother the terminal nature of her cancer? How does her mother s deathbed account of her life change the daughter s understanding of her parents generation? The true life story is unique both in its depiction of ordinary life in today s China and in its universal picture of an ordinary family dealing with its past and facing its grim future. This young woman, typical of China s one-child generation, tells a tale that ranges from grim to comic, revealing human frailty as well as faith and extraordinary courage._,
