At the Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckoning with China
by Edward Wong
Growing up, Edward Wong didn’t hear his father talk much about the older man’s life in China. Perhaps that’s why Wong found himself retracing the elder Wong’s footsteps through the borderlands of the Chinese empire, in his work as the New York Times’s Beijing correspondent. Hong Kong, Harbin, Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia: the lives of the two men weave together to form the thread connecting this grand yet personal account of 70 years of Chinese history.
