APHAFIC to Host Dr. Ying-Ying Chang for Booksigning

APHAFIC will host a book signing by Dr. Ying-Ying Chang, mother of noted Chinese-American author Iris Chang, on March 11, 2012 from 2-4 pm at the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum, 404 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92101. Her book entitled The Woman Who Would Not Forget: Iris Chang, Before and Beyond the Rape of Nanking - A Memoir.

Dr. Chang will begin the event by speaking about the book and taking questions. Other books related to Iris Chang will be available and refreshments will be served.

Author Richord Rhodes wrote, “Her mother, Ying-Ying, provides an enlightened and nuanced look at her daughter, from Iris’ home-made childhood newspaper, to her early years as a journalist and later, as a promising young historian, her struggles with her son’s autism and her tragic suicide. The Woman Who Could Not Forget cements Iris’ legacy as one of the most extraordinary minds of her generation and reveals the depth and beauty of the bond between a mother and daughter.”
