Query: no nonsense, succinct but insightful book

I bought the book with reservation even though it was critically acclaimed by the Time magazine as there are so many books out there nowadays written by Chinese authors banking on their unfortunate past. I really hate whinging book because it leads the readers nowhere. The essence of reading a book is to broaden our knowledge, enabling us to reflect upon our past so that we could build a better foundation for our younger generation. I believe Jan has done just that. Ashamed that I couldn't meet her in person when she gave a talk regarding the book in Christchurch 2 years ago. Believe me, her sequel, Jan Wong's China is just as good or even better than her first masterpiece. Keep up the good work.
