Honor and Duty, by Gus Lee, Audio read by B D Wong
This is Mr. Lee's second book in his fictionalized autobiographical series, following China Boy, Kai Ting. In this story he has grown from the poor little skinny beaten-up-every-day kid to a filled- out muscular young man (via fiends at the YMCA) about to enter West Point, partly for his own reasons but mainly to please his father. He, like the vast majority of Asian people at that time in history, had been taught to reverence and obey his elders, simply because they were his elders. The book is fast moving and interesting all the way through, especially when he meets Pearl Yee, a young NY Chinese girl seriously looking for a husband to keep herself from having to marry a man of her father's choosing. Kai Ting flunked a class and was out of West Point, reassigned and finally settled the issues between hmself and his late mother, who had been replaced by a harsh stepmother, and his father, who confessed that he also had flunked out of college back in Shanghai and in Honor and Duty, at least, they became friends at last.
I would love to share this wonderful book, so pleasantly read by B D Wong, with my grandchildren, but unfortunately it is so laced with four letter trash words and expletives, I will not allow them the opportunity to hear it.
