Brief to a New Book
“Life Journey through Three Regimes, Two Countries, and Two Systems”
This book is an autobiography. It vividly describes author’s complex life journey. The author was born in a remote mountain village in China. He went to a university in Beijing and worked in Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing for many years after graduation. The author came to study in the United States of America in 1981, obtained Ph. D in physics. He later taught at American universities. He went from the son of a farmer in a mountain village to a professor in the United States of America. His childhood was in the era of Kuomintang rule, of Communist Mao Zedong rule, and then of Deng Xiaoping’s reform. The United States is his current country of citizenship and residence. He loves this country. But it somehow is still like a foreign country to him. The United States is also typical of the capitalist system. So the author experienced three regimes and two countries and two systems. In his earlier life, it is the richest part of Chinese history and also the richest part of world history. He has been through all these.
The course of his life is very complex, rich, and colorful. A lot of living things happen at his feet. These stories have love and hate, there is history, and there is something personal. Among them, there is success, there is failure, there is experience, there is a lesson, and its path is rondo and fold. Sometimes it is smooth sailing, sometimes the waves roll, sometimes it is breezy and sunny, and sometimes is stormy.
In 1994, the author returned to his long-lost hometown. This was the second time he had come back after nearly twenty years. The last time was in 1975. The author saw his classmates and friends when he was a kid. Of course, the American professor returning to his hometown still caused a lot of sensation in the village. Some people who used to bully his family had also come to visit. After a few decades, the hometown had been unrecognizable. After the reform and opening up, the people’s lives had improved considerably.
However, local governments were lacking environmental awareness and the concept of uniform logging. The construction of houses was extremely disorganized, turning the beautiful mountain village into a mess. The author was very sad seeing this. He is always dreaming. If he has hundreds of millions of dollars, he must first go to transform his hometown. He is going to dedicate this book to his hometown. If only his book could be published, he is going to use all his contributions as a fund to raise money for rebuilding his hometown.
This book is written in chronological order. It is divided into eleven chapters: Chapter 1, Childhood, from Birth to Graduation from Elementary School, 1941 to 1954; Chapter 2, Middle School and High School, 1954 to 1960; Chapter 3, At a Chinese University in Beijing, 1960 to 1965; Chapter 4, First Year in the Institute, 1965 to 1966; Chapter 5, The Terrible Cultural Revolution, 1966 to 1970; Chapter 6, The Exile Life in Yanjiang “57 Cadre School,” 1970 to 1972; Chapter 7, Life in Beijing after Returning from the 57 Cadre School, 1972 to 1976; Chapter 8, Mao’s Death, Deng Xiaoping’s Return to Power, Reform and Opening Up, and the Third Regime, 1976 to 1981; Chapter 9, Arrived in The United States of America—Some Reflections, 1981 to 1986; Chapter 10, Some Memories in That Small Town, 1981 to 1986; and Chapter 11, Working at Different Institutions, 1986 to 2017.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
