Guest: Orren Wang was born in rural China in the early 1960s, just after the famine of 1959 to 1962, to parents who never spent a day in school. His father taught himself to read and was recruited by the Chinese Communist Party as a township-level official; his mother was illiterate all her life and sent her children to a school carved out of the village ancestral hall. Wang taught himself English by radio, took part in the December 1986 student protest in his provincial capital and the nationwide 1989 democracy movement as a graduate student in Chengdu, Sichuan, and came to the United States as a student in 1994. He earned a master's degree in accounting at Western Kentucky University, is a Certified Public Accountant, became a Christian in China, and became a United States citizen fourteen years after he arrived. He has written a memoir about his life in China. This episode is part of The Jenny Beth Show's Surviving Communism series.
