Brief Summary Peach Blossom Spring by Melissa Fu

Fu’s novel follows a Chinese family from 1938 to 2005, from Changsa, China to the northern countryside to Shanghai to Taipei, Tawain, to Illinois and finally New Mexico. It intrigued me because I recently watched a few Mainland Chinese dramas set around the War of Aggression (aka WWII to Americans) that made me realize how little I knew about that period in Chinese history and also left me very aware of the current government censorship and propaganda in them (happy endings for everyone who supports communism). Although Fu’s book is a novel, it is a well-researched, painfully realistic story that certainly will help anyone understand some of the lingering impact of the second Japanese invasion on the Chinese people. Fu’s writing is very accessible and beautiful, and she starkly weaves a story that may not be a true story but is filled with truth. In addition to the horror and trauma of war, she also depicts the Chinese immigrant and interracial family experiences clearly and compassionately.
