In Swimming to Freedom, Kent Wong captures his childhood amidst revolutionary times, where boyish adventures and school days mixed with dire poverty and political persecution. Mao’s Hundred Flower Campaign had ensnared Kent’s father. A decade later, the Cultural Revolution closed schools, plunged the country into chaos, and scattered Kent and his sisters to disparate villages, where they struggled to eke out a bare existence.

Heart wrenching, and a tear jerking story
Revisado: 01-19-25
I usually don’t listen to audio books, but I heard from Freddy Wong that he had just recorded his reading of his fathers book. I immediately purchased it and began listening. Most things fail to elicit an emotional response from me, however I found myself multiple times listening coming to tears. I cannot fathom what it took to go through that, and how it was dealing with everything after. I will recommend this book to everyone I know. A must listen
