Book: Things That Must Not Be Forgotten: A Childhood in Wartime China.

Written by Michael david Kwan, Things That Must Not Be Forgotten was published (US Publication) just two weeks before Mr Kwan suffered a heart attack and passed away. - he was able to give readers a memorable story but was unable to read the critics with his own eyes... it is so sad.

Kwan was born during the wartime China to a wealthy family as a "mixed race" child, a Chinese father and a Swiss mother. It is an autobiography but it is also a book for anyone who is interested in Chinese culture, the Japanese invasion and occupation of China, and the contemporary Chinese history - this book was told with a very rich and in-depth hictorical background. Those facts might or might not be found in a Chinese history textbook!
