Join us in a conversation with Nancy Pine, professor emerita at Mount St. Mary’s University and Shenzhan Liao, Senior Vice President of China Institute, about Nancy’s new book One in a Billion: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey through Modern-Day China. It’s a powerful story about the dramatic survival of one outspoken man who illuminates the souls of a billion ordinary Chinese citizens. An Wei—a stubborn, hardworking peasant who has lived by his values and stood up for his convictions—has succeeded against all odds through modern-day China. Despite grinding poverty, hunger, reeducation campaigns, and attacks from jealous peers, An Wei continues to inspire with his daring achievements, such as launching a democratic congress in his own village. His compelling life provides a vivid backdrop for understanding the development of modern China from the unique perspective of an outspoken citizen. Join our online conversation and learn what’s behind One in a Billion and Nancy’s journey in China.
