Sink or Swim (Spring Grass Book 5)

Sink or Swim (Spring Grass Book 5) is a candid, revealing account of my struggle to cope with the conflicting demands of marriage, motherhood, and career during the early period of China's reform and opening-up policy that began in 1978. My relationship with my husband was strained by financial problems, sexual ignorance, and Chinese custom, which dictated that I belonged to my husband's family. But I was a child of the revolution, not one bound by tradition. At Shanghai Television, where I was assigned after my university graduation, I enjoyed a brief stint as a TV director, but I was soon transferred to the less desirable Section of Educational Programs. I had a son, and within a month of his birth, he became dangerously ill. To support my husband's budding career, I took on full responsibility for my son's care as well as all household duties. Would I give up my ambition or struggle to succeed? I selected the latter. Over time, our lives improved. My husband returned from an assignment in the United States with new insights about the West as well as our intimate life gained from his accidental introduction to Playboy magazine! After years of hard work at the station, my career finally blossomed when I became the producer of a hit TV program. My imagined ideal life became a reality.
