Sink or Swim (Spring Grass Book 5) is a candid, revealing account of my struggle to cope with the conflicting demands of marriage, motherhood, and career during the early period of China's reform and opening-up policy that began in 1978. My relationship with my husband was strained by financial problems, sexual ignorance, and Chinese custom, which dictated that I belonged to my husband's family. But I was a child of the revolution, not one bound by tradition. At Shanghai Television, where I was assigned after my university graduation, I enjoyed a brief stint as a TV director, but I was soon transferred to the less desirable Section of Educational Programs. I had a son, and within a month of his birth, he became dangerously ill. To support my husband's budding career, I took on full responsibility for my son's care as well as all household duties. Would I give up my ambition or struggle to succeed? I selected the latter. Over time, our lives improved. My husband returned from an assignment in the United States with new insights about the West as well as our intimate life gained from his accidental introduction to Playboy magazine! After years of hard work at the station, my career finally blossomed when I became the producer of a hit TV program. My imagined ideal life became a reality.

I have read all the books in this series, The stories were very interesting, it kept me interested to know what happened next. This volume told stores about her life after she graduated from the Worker-Peasant-Solider university. She was busy with her career, her new born boy and complex in-law family relationship. Growing up in China myself, it reminded me how hard it was to maintain a daily life, we didn't have private cars, no washing machines, no laundry machines. It was hard for a woman to take care of her family daily needs already, plus her desire for a better job. I am very impressed by her dedication and determination to her work, even though she was not assigned the favorite job she wanted initially, but she never gave up, and finally realized her dream.Very uplifting stories, I am happy for her, she got her dream job!

Sink or Swim Spring Grass Book 5 eBook Qiyin Emurian Reviews
This volume is less intense than the previous volumes in the sense that disaster, destruction, and death finally have no part in any of the chapters; it covers the few years following the Cultural Revolution in which China was in recovery as a whole and peoples' lives slowly returned to normal. Nevertheless, the author's personal struggles to balance her new roles of a wife, a mother, and a professional woman, often in extremely difficult and conflicting situations, have made the book captivating and intriguing. It gives a realistic detailed account of the author's life and of Chinese society at the time. To sink and get drowned in the whirlpool or to swim and move forward? The author has given us the answer through her remarkable endeavors and strong spirit.
The last chapter, "A Crushed Stone", is especially saddening and moving. It is true that every revolution results in consequences and victims, but when it happens to your close childhood friend, like a withered flower that was supposed to be blooming, the sorrow is profound and the pain is real. Ping's story could be a reflection of the whole abandoned or "crushed" generation that should not to be forgotten. I'm looking forward to the next volume!
The author's fifth book is a very impressive, intimate account of her struggles and accomplishments. The author is now a producer in the TV station in Shanghai. The book describes her interactions with governmental officials, superiors, and colleagues as she strives to maintain her integrity. She brings us close to her experiences in the larger society (1970/80), to include her family life with all the challenges of living up to the expectations of her husband's family relations in the city and in the countryside. A heartrending account is given of her son's chronic illness and her pursuit to find a cure -- which she finally does. One can not help but applaud the author's persistent efforts to survive towards a better life and superior professional career.
