Song of the Azalea: A Former Chinese Communist in British Hong Kong
This memoir recounts the extraordinary life of Kenneth Ore, who was sold into servitude as a child and later joined the Chinese Communist Party in his teenage years. With his mother's bravery and resilience, he survived the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong and the subsequent turmoil of the People's Republic of China. Now, as he reflects on his past, Ore shares the painful secrets he kept from his beloved mother.
This personal and historical account offers a unique perspective on the complexities of identity, loyalty, and survival in the face of war and oppression.
