What if your own father and his mistress were behind your mother¡¯s death? What if you were about to be sold off to a scumbag? What would you do? In the nick of time, a tall, rich, and handsome guy descended from the sky and came to her rescue with a piece of contract. Xin Qing glowered at the man before her. At first, she had thought of him as her Prince Charming. In the end, he turned out to be an evil demon. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go.

As a story of Washington life, dealing largely with what might be called social politics, it is certainly a success.

A tour de force by journalist Becker, this book explores how and why the Chinese buried their history and destroyed one of the world's most fabled cities, virtually extinguishing the culture of one of the greatest and oldest civilizations within the span of a single lifetime.
