Publisher's Synopsis

The compelling story of Dr. Wu Jieping (1917 - 2011), one of China˜s most prestigious Physicians, who experienced the great revolution of the old China and developed from a former style of intellectual into a national leader of the new China. Wu established his global reputation in the field of Urology with significant medical achievements. This thought-provoking personal account shared with his friend, the author Olivia Cox-Fill, illustrates the lifestyle and demands of the hierarchy against a background of the conditions experienced by the populus. This new edition with maps and photographs invites readers to consider what they can do to encourage interaction between the cultures, revitalise the embers of what was possible until 2015 and strengthen global collaboration.
