Dramatically changed my perspective on those years of war in China." - David deWilde, Founder, Chartwell Partners "Fast-paced and engaging, this takes us back to Japan's invasion of China which led to Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima. Granddaughter of China's renowned Liang Qichao, Nancy/Nianci gives a raw and fresh perspective on love, freedom, and sacrifice." - Nora Wu, formerly Vice-Chair, PwC International "I'm delighted that it's now possible for the world to see this story. A narrative derived from the writings of someone who lived through the experience is the most valuable kind of history." - Fenrong Liu, Professor, Department of Philosophy, Tsinghua University
