Synopsis

Many share a similar story to Sandra Xing and Yan Ming Li, but few have told it due to the dark cloud looming over the discussion of China in 1966. Behind the infectious joy this couple exudes lies a series of diverse stories filled with unimaginable circumstances, devastating poverty, and the tragedies that either kill or make you stronger - all a product of living in China during the reign of Mao Zedong, the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. In this inspiring memoir, Sandra and Li share the story of their separate beginnings in communist China and the unwavering courage it took to over come the loss of parents- both in death and to re-education camps, the innocence of youth being stripped away as a young girl watched her village endure torture, and the desperate pursuit of the American Dream that led them to each other. Stories capture our hearts and inform our emotions - when that happens we are often impacted in a way that sees something differently. Courage to Rise is a story that brings a new perspective to an entire generation, a convicting appreciation for the privilege of freedom and the abundant opportunities that exist in America. You will be motivated and inspired to face your own decisions, struggles and dreams with unremitting courage.
