The Manchu Princess and the Gold Tortoise - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

What are the odds that a descendant of a prominent Manchu family and a young immigrant boy arriving in America with little more than determination would find each other and build a marriage lasting more than fifty-five years?

The Manchu Princess and the Gold Tortoise is a memoir of family, immigration, education, perseverance, and enduring love. Spanning continents and generations, it follows the journeys of Shumarry Chao and Paul Tsou from their childhoods in China and Hong Kong to their careers in medicine and their life together in America.

Along the way, they experienced war, political upheaval, cultural change, professional achievement, world travel, and the challenges of marriage and family life. Through it all, they learned that trust, loyalty, patience, and love matter more than status, wealth, or circumstance.

Part family history, part immigrant story, and part love story, this memoir preserves the memories, lessons, and adventures of two remarkable lives lived across extraordinary times.

This is the story of where they came from, what they built together, and why some journeys are worth remembering.
