Brief to a New Book

“Life Journey through Three Regimes, Two Countries, and Two Systems”

This book is an autobiography. It vividly describes author’s complex life journey. The author was born in a remote mountain village in China. He went to a university in Beijing and worked in Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing for many years after graduation. The author came to study in the United States of America in 1981, obtained Ph. D in physics. He later taught at American universities. He went from the son of a farmer in a mountain village to a professor in the United States of America. His childhood was in the era of Kuomintang rule, of Communist Mao Zedong rule, and then of Deng Xiaoping’s reform. The United States is his current country of citizenship and residence. He loves this country. But it somehow is still like a foreign country to him. The United States is also typical of the capitalist system. So the author experienced three regimes and two countries and two systems. In his earlier life, it is the richest part of Chinese history and also the richest part of world history. He has been through all these.

The course of his life is very complex, rich, and colorful. A lot of living things happen at his feet. These stories have love and hate, there is history, and there is something personal. Among them, there is success, there is failure, there is experience, there is a lesson, and its path is rondo and fold. Sometimes it is smooth sailing, sometimes the waves roll, sometimes it is breezy and sunny, and sometimes is stormy.

In 1994, the author returned to his long-lost hometown. This was the second time he had come back after nearly twenty years. The last time was in 1975. The author saw his classmates and friends when he was a kid. Of course, the American professor returning to his hometown still caused a lot of sensation in the village. Some people who used to bully his family had also come to visit. After a few decades, the hometown had been unrecognizable. After the reform and opening up, the people’s lives had improved considerably.

However, local governments were lacking environmental awareness and the concept of uniform logging. The construction of houses was extremely disorganized, turning the beautiful mountain village into a mess. The author was very sad seeing this. He is always dreaming. If he has hundreds of millions of dollars, he must first go to transform his hometown. He is going to dedicate this book to his hometown. If only his book could be published, he is going to use all his contributions as a fund to raise money for rebuilding his hometown.

新书“历经三代两国两制”简介

此书是作者的自传。生动地描述了作者的复杂的人生经历。作者出生在中国一个山村里。到北京上了大学，毕业后在北京一研究所工作多年。一九八一年来美国留学。在美国大学任教。作者从一个山村农民的儿子到了一个在美国的教授。他的童年是在国民党统治时代，生长在共产党毛泽东统治时代，经历了文革，又到了邓小平的改革开放。基本上可算是经历了三代了。又在美国度过了一生的一半。美国虽是作者现在的在籍国。作者爱这个国家，可某种程度乃是他的异国他乡。美国也是典型的资本主义制度。所以说他又体验了两国和两制。在他过去的这段生活里，也正是中国历史最丰富的一段，又是世界历史很丰富的一段。作者是经历了这一切的。他一生的历程是很复杂丰富五彩缤纷的。许多活生生的事都发生在他的脚下。这些故事有爱有恨，有历史，有个人一些事。其中有成功，有失败，经验，有教训，其道路回旋曲折。有时一帆风顺，有时却波浪翻滚，有时风和日丽，有时却狂风暴雨。

一九九四年，作者回到了久别的故乡。这是他近二十后又有次回来。上一次是在一九七五年。他看到了小时候的同学朋友。当然，美国教授回故里，还是引起了村子里的不小的轰动。一些过去欺负他家的人也不得不来拜访。经过几十年后，家乡已面目全非。改革开放后，人民生活确有不小的改进。但是当地政府缺少环保意识和统一规划的概念。房屋的建设极其零乱，把美丽的山村变得乱七八糟。作者十分痛心。他总在梦想。如果他有亿万元，他一定先去改造家乡。他的这本书是要献他家乡的。作者的书要是能出版。他要把他的稿费全部作为基金来筹款去重建他的家乡。作者写这本书的原本目的是要把他一生的经历告诉后人。不管是经验还是教训，因为作者的一生和中国历史，中国几代的社会，美国的社会制度都有很紧密的联系。这使得作者对中国的或美国的都有较深刻的认识。作者要把他的这些都告诉世人。让人们能从中得到一些启发。引起人们能更好的对待过去和未来并能珍惜之。

本书将按时间顺序来写，分为十一章。第一章童年，从出生到小学毕业，一九四一 到一九五四；第二章初中和高中时期，一九五四到一九六O；第三章在北京中国大学就读，一九六O到一九六五；第四章在研究所第一年，一九六五至一九六六；第五章可怕的文化大革命，一九六六到一九七零；第六章沿江“五七干校”的流放生涯，一九七零到一九七二；第七章从“五七干校”回京后的一段生活，一九七二到一九七六；第八章毛去世, 邓小平再掌实权, 改革开放和第三政权，一九七六到一九八一；第九章来到美国, 留美感想，一九八一到一九八六；第十章在小城的一些记忆， 一九八一到一九八六；第十一章在不同大学工作，一九八六到二0一七。
