China’s over three decades-long population planning policy, known popularly as the ‘one child policy,’ took a major shift when Beijing announced late last year a shift to a nationwide two-child policy. In “One Child,” Mei Fong writes about the origins of the policy and some of its unintended consequences through a narrative-rich story that is “evocatively rendered and peppered with quirky characters, including a sex-doll salesman and a dating guru who claims that overly assertive women contract breast cancer.” (Wall Street Journal) The book has also garnered critical praise from The New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent and the Los Angeles Review of Books.

A book signing will follow the talk. Copies of the book, One Child, will be available to buy.

We invite Mei Fong, Author and Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist to discuss. No RSVP necessary.
