Speaking tonight at Credit Swiss conference in Hong Kong, focusing on China’s future. Among 120 guests was Sir John Major, the former British Prime Minister of UK. He is far more charming in real life!

Another sold out event at M on the Bund today – as part of Shanghai Literature Festival. Hanna beech, a veteran journalist, skillfully moderated my session. Thank you FCC for sponsoring me, All the copies were sold out even before the event started! How wish I had brought a dozen more copies to sell!

Please check out this video, talking about a family secret, Lotus, my debut novel about prostitution in China, and the country’s growing sex trade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsZkuQc0qdE&feature=youtu.be

I was thrilled and honored to speak at WAB (Western Academy of Beijing) about Lotus and gender issue in China. What an enlightened school to invite a writer to talk about sex trade!
