Listen to the audio version of this interview.
Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins was born unwanted during the 1931 Yangtze River Flood, adopted by medical missionaries, brought to the US for a few years, then trapped in Communist China. She was neither American nor Chinese “enough,” yearning for acceptance and home her whole life.
Richard Perkins Hsung was born in China in 1966 and was one of the first teens to leave China legally after Mao’s Cultural Revolution. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago. He became a professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, retiring in 2022 to fulfill his promise to his mother, Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins, that he would complete her memoir. It took him more than ten years. He meticulously compiled and edited her writings, adding family photographs and historical details to create the 3-volume memoir.
In today’s episode, Richard and James discuss this memoir, Spring Flower: A Tale of Two Rivers, which spans the 83 years of Jean’s life and sheds light on the Chinese cultural revolution and how it impacted its citizens and the people trapped in communist China.
