Manchurian American: A Memoir

Manchurian American is the personal tale of Yupin Wang who was born in Northeast China (Manchuria) in the 1930s. He is a witness to the Japanese invasion of China and brutal civil wars an escapee to Taiwan and an accidental American who came to the United States in the 1950s and made it. This is a poignant story of the human spirit triumphing over obstacles of nationality race and time. Manchurian American is about love family friendship and gratitude for an adopted country. Wangs personal crusade in a new bewildering land is as relevant today for him as it is for all Americans who live in a land of immigrants.

This story will appeal to a wide audience: Americans with immigrant roots Americans who experienced war firsthand baby boomers and a younger generation seeking an explanation of the past. Both men and women will find it touching and engaging. Asians and new immigrants to America will find it inspiring.
