SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of Patrizia Chen's new book Goong-Goong
DESCRIPTION:Marrying into a Chinese family\, Patrizia was fascinated and puzzled by the myriad of photographs of old Shanghai; the elegant weddings\, exclusive club-like settings\, sumptuous homes\, banquets\, and expensive cars. Inquisitive\, she fielded questions\, began to collect information\, and discovered that she had married into an extraordinarily influential and important Chinese family. Yet… no one knew about the stories. Only her father-in-law\, shipping magnate C.Y. Chen (or Goong-Goong\, as she always respectfully referred to him) was the key to unlocking the family history. \nThough rebuffed at first; in the years to come\, the one prickly relationship between inquisitive Patrizia and reserved Goong-Goong warmed to become one of profound joy and deep meaning. Patrizia knew that she had to write the story of this remarkable man and the family that took her in with open arms; about exotic traditions; about fascinating people\, places\, anecdotes and stories–the stuff of novels–that proved to be real once she began to study the history of the Chen family and the meeting of East and West. Chen shows how families may change but can still preserve their traditions. \nGoong-Goong is a unique book\, which represents a fascinating cultural bridge between two civilizations and spanning two centuries.
