Synopsis
Nan Wu immigrated to the United States from China to earn a graduate degree in political science, but with the Tiananmen Square massacre in the late 1980s, he and his wife Pingping make the difficult decision to bring their family to America and being a new, freer life in the West. With their young son Taotao, they live in the home of a wealthy widow, taking care of the house and grounds and slowly adjusting to the idiosyncasies of life in the United States.
Overwhelmed by the options available in the "land of opportunity", Nan returns to his passion, poetry, with a dream of someday making it his career. Yet even as he and his family begin to acheive the American Dream, Nan still wonders about his first love, a woman who scorned him in China years before, and whether he can ever truly love Pingping and bring success to his family. A Free Life unsparingly documents the highs and lows of contemporary immigrant life; Ha Jin's gifts for finely-honed prose and rich characterization make the Wu family's relationships resonant. It's not the story of every immigrant, but it portrays much of that seminal American story.
