This is Chi Newman's second book. "My China, My World" is primarily a biography, but also an update and expansion, and sequel to her first book, a travelogue, a history lesson, and an introduction to world diplomacy. Chi's story is so unique, that if it were not true, no one would believe it as fiction. Very few individuals, even among the extremely wealthy, have been to as many countries and met as many people of all economic levels and cultures as Chi has - and been successful at making friends everywhere she's been. Even in retirement, she's a master at bridge, still an aggressive tennis player, and a hostess with both true taste and honest hospitality. Above all Chi believes in and truly lives by the philosophy of "Yin Yang." Her life is proof that there is validity to that ancient and successful philosophy. She has lived in abject and hopeless poverty - and also in luxury apartments and embassy suites. She has walked for miles on dirt paths and ridden in pedicabs. She has owned sporty cars and been chauffeured in government limousines. She has traveled first class and comfort on the finest jet aircraft - and yet nearly lost her life in the crash of a small single engine plane. She has been married to her wonderful husband for decades, but had to hold her family together when he was kidnapped and held for weeks while being threatened with death by Central American revolutionaries. "My China, My World" will take you on an around the world tour, give you a 60-year history lesson, and show you how government service can be both rewarding and extremely dangerous. Chi Newman's story is truly unique. Anyone with Chinese or Asian family members or connections, or has someone in military or government service (any government), will want to read Chi Newman's unique and uplifting story.
