The introduction tells the story of a mythical T’ai Peng creature, and then reveals the story of a real boy given this name. As a young man, he plotted with others to conspire against the Chinese government, which ultimately caused him to flee for his life to America.

It sounds like the memoir has great potential, in that much will probably be revealed about this culture during this time period; however, not having a strong understanding of Chinese culture and customs, it might also make for more challenging reading.
