Foreword by Janet YellenWeijian Shan's Out of the Gobi is a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America.Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America. Out of the Gobi draws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds.Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao’s policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China’s history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan’s improbable journey, from the Gobi to the “People’s Republic of Berkeley” and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story – told with a splash of humor, deep insight and rich and engaging detail.This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will inform Americans' view of China, humanizing the country, while providing a rare view of America from the prism of a keen foreign observer who lived the American dream.Says former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen: “Shan’s life provides a demonstration of what is possible when China and the United States come together, even by happenstance. It is not only Shan’s personal history that makes this book so interesting but also how the stories of China and America merge in just one moment in time to create an inspired individual so unique and driven, and so representative of the true sprits of both countries.”

An unvarnished and evocative account of a little understood time in modern Chinese history that brings to life the experiences of an entire generation. The book captures Shan’s spirit of resolve, pragmatism and optimism in the face of seemingly insurmountable, impersonal & exhausting odds at once inspiring as well as sobering, as the reader honestly questions whether they could have made it through the other side of those hard years in the Gobi. Beyond survival, the fact that a whole generation endured what it did yet managed to not only forgive the system that created such misery but integrate with it and end up leading it, is food for thought as the rest of the world undergoes differing degrees of political turmoil and engagement.I can’t help but consider whether the prevailing narrative that the Chinese leadership are in a “weaker” position than their US counterparts in the current trade disputes is really valid; if one considers the life paths each had to follow to reach their current position, elucidated by this very story, I would wager on the Chinese side’s toughness, pain tolerance and patience far outlasting Donald Trump’s.At the end of the book, I find myself hoping the author continues with a sequel about his experiences doing business with and in China over the last 25 years, a story that will be fascinating for altogether different reasons.Highly recommended!
