2: WU NINGKUN (WOO NING-kwun), author of a new personal and political memoir, A Single Tear, about surviving three decades of Communist rule in China. Wu was born in China and received his college education in the United States. He left a promising academic career in this country to return to China in 1951 with hopes that the new Communist regime would benefit his country. Instead, he was labeled counter-revolutionary for teaching works by Western authors and was sentenced to serve time at various labor camps and prisons. He now lives in the United States with his family. (Atlantic Monthly Press).
