At the age of eight during China’s Cultural Revolution, Ping Fu was separated from her
family and began caring for her four year old sister in dormitories ruled over by the
Red Guard. She made her way to the US when she was 25 and supported herself as
she learned English and earned a college degree. Ping was inspired by a story her
father shared with her about the three friends of winter -- one of which is the bamboo that bends but does not break.
This story of a woman who had all kinds of strikes against her but perseveres to become happy and successful is very inspiring. If you enjoyed Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, you will enjoy this story of courage and strength.
