Book Description
Born on the eve of China’s Cultural Revolution, Ping Fu was separated from her family at the age of eight. She grew up fighting hunger and humiliation and shielding her younger sister from the teenagers in Mao’s Red Guard. At twenty-five, she found her way to the United States; her only resources were $80 and a few phrases of English. Yet Ping persevered, and the hard-won lessons of her childhood guided her to success in her new homeland. Aided by her well-honed survival instincts, a few good friends, and the kindness of strangers, she grew into someone she never thought she’d be—a strong, independent, entrepreneurial leader. “She tells her story with intelligence, verve and a candor that is often heart-rending.” —The Wall Street Journal “This well-written tale of courage, compassion, and undaunted curiosity reveals the life of a genuine hero.” —Booklist (starred review) “Her success at the American Dream is a real triumph.” —The New York Post

Pages : 240
Book Description
Reviews Reviewed by Jordan Raanan, ESPN reporter A fascinating look at the life of an incredible man. Who else has gone from communist China to representing players in the NFL? The journey is jaw-dropping, but it still pales in comparison to the man he has become. A lot of lessons to be learned from these pages. Reviewed by Tom Pellisero, NFL Network host and reporter From a near-death experience as a boy in Bangkok to representing pro football players and putting on charity events, Doc Ping's story is an inspiring one - a reminder that anyone can make a difference in this world. Reviewed by David Birkett, Detroit Free Press, Lions NFL reporter Doc Ping is the NFL agent's version of Forrest Gump, a genuine man who has been connected to some remarkable events over the course of his extraordinary life. t's a fascinating story, and one that gives the reader a glimpse into what's made him so successful. Reviewed by Aaron Wilson, Houston Chronicle, Texans NFL reporter The Legend of Doc Ping is an apt description of his life's story and provides an outstanding peek behind the curtains of both the NFL and Doc's life. Well-done! Book Summary After witnessing the beheading of his Uncle, a very young Doc Ping and his family escaped from China on foot in fear for their lives. They left everything behind, including his father's position in the nationalist Chinese government and all of their possessions, and fled the country--first to Bangkok, and then to Taiwan. When Doc was nine, his father secretly arranged for him to travel on a freighter with 15 other civilians to the USA to live with the woman who helped resuscitate him from drowning a few years prior. Instead of offering him a better life, the woman was abusive, and after leaving her home, Doc lived in four more foster homes before joining the US Marine Corps after high school. In the Marines, Doc played football in Japan before deploying to Vietnam to fight for his country. Following his time in the Corps, Doc earned a Master's degree, coached Little League baseball, worked as an assistant principal, became a master of Jishukan-Ryu Jujitsu, and founded his own professional sports agency representing NFL players. As a result of the (highly) eventful life he's led, more than one of Doc's friends have referred to him as a "real life" Forrest Gump--and they might be right. Both overcame difficult childhoods, achieved athletic glory, fought for their country in Vietnam and shook JFK's hand. Both then went on to achieve great things in life, including finding love and having a family. The main difference here is that Forrest Gump is a work of fiction. Doc's stories, on the other hand, are actual accounts of his real life. This memoir contains some of the compelling stories from his remarkable journey.
