BLOG FOR A BOOKWORM

December 2010

Well here we go trying to create a blog that might encourage you to visit our site and buy books to read! We are just a couple of struggling pensioners who are  trying to supplement our pensions by mowing lawns, cleaning windows and such like things...It would be so nice if we could sell books instead!

We've just read for ourselves the touching story written by Li Cunxin; the story of his upbringing in communist China in the sixties. Li Cunxin was the sixth of seven sons born in a poverty stricken household and thoroughly brainwashed by Mao. The book tells of his last minute selection for Madame Mao's dancing school, his leaving home, his strict training and terribly tough rise to the top of his class. His final escape to America's freedom and luxuries, and the wonderful help he was finally able to give his family, makes a heart warming tale of courage and love - well worth reading.
