This copy inscribed to award winning poet Rosanna Warren, daughter of United States Poet Laureate Robert Penn Warren. Jin grew up in the chaos of early communist China. He was on a scholarship at Brandeis University when the 1989 Tiananmen incident occurred. The Chinese government's forcible put-down hastened his decision to emigrate to the United States, and was the cause of his choice to write in English "to preserve the integrity of his work.".
