When The Red Gates Opened

A Memoir of China's Reawakening

Beschreibung

In the 1980s, after decades of isolation, China opened its doors-and Communism changed forever. As a foreign correspondent during this pivotal era, Dori Jones fell in love with China and with a Chinese man. This memoir recalls the euphoria of Americans discovering a new China, as well as the despair of Tiananmen.
