Cai Chongda spent his childhood in a rural fishing village in Fujian province. When his father-a former communist gang leader turned gas station owner-has a stroke that partially paralyzes him, his responsibilities fall to Cai, his only son. Assuming his new role as head of the family, Cai toils alongside his mother and older sister to pay the medical bills that have become a part of a rapidly changing Chinese society. As Cai works his way through university and moves to Beijing, eventually becoming a director of GQ China, he finds his life increasingly at odds with the family he supports but has left behind. Like The Glass Castle and Hillbilly Elegy, Vessel neither romanticizes nor condemns the people and circumstances that shaped a young man's life, but instead offers a way forward, revealing how tradition can enrich modern life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Cai, Chongda, $d 1982- 600 10 $a Cai, Chongda, $d 1982- $x Family. 651 0 $a Fujian Sheng (China) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Working class families $z Fujian Sheng. $z Fujian Sheng. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a King, Dylan Levi, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023430.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064851.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210723014655.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210717010043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D6B5EF6E6C411EBA595FBEE35ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
