Meilin is awaiting the return of her husband from the war against the Japanese but while her brother-in-law returns, her husband does not. Peach Blossom Spring begins in Changsha, China in 1938. Peach Blossom Spring is just the sort of book I love – a book that spans decades, that looks at families and culture and teaches me about world events! It’s about the power of our past, the hope for a better future, and the search for a place to call home. Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. How can he keep his family safe in this new land when the weight of his history threatens to drag them down? His daughter is desperate to understand her heritage, but he refuses to talk about his childhood. Years later, Renshu has settled in America as Henry Dao. Its ancient fables offer solace and wisdom as they travel through their ravaged country, seeking refuge. For comfort, they turn to their most treasured possession – a beautifully illustrated hand scroll. A young mother, Meilin, is forced to flee her burning city with her four-year-old son, Renshu, and embark on an epic journey across China. ![]() It is 1938 in China, and the Japanese are advancing. With every misfortune there is a blessing and within every blessing, the seeds of misfortune, and so it goes, until the end of time. ![]()
