Customer Review for "The Orphans of Shao"

Frankly speaking, I think this book is qualified to be considered as a candidate for the Nobel Prize. The book is bold and candid exposure of the despicable corruption, unlawfulness, cold-bloodedness, cruelty to the underprivileged people, the insatiable greed for money, especially in the remote small cities and villages. The book tells how so many middle and low level Communist officials think "they are the law", and they can do whatsoever they like to get profits from their illegal enforcement of the "One-child Policy" because the top officials in the central government agencies in Beijing have always been busy with their own businesses and preoccupied with efforts that may help them climb the political ladder. The central government officials simply ignored the cries and appeals of the underpreviliged poor people who are usually less educated and less informed. When the author, a young investigative reporter, first heard stories of infants or small children being seized by officials and sent to the government-run orphanaged. He did not start digging up the truth. As he heard more and more stories about similar stories told by the victims, he set out to dig up and verifiy the truth of the stories. The author even built up contacts with foreigners who provided many useful leads enabling the author to find out the systematic tricks used by the Communist officials to sell orphans to foreign adopters. According to this book, selling Chinese orphans to foreign adopters, by the Communist officials, is "big lucrative business". The book even cited many news reports made by international newspapers such as the New York Times about the doubtful adoption of "Chinese orphans". According to the book, many of the "orphans" were not orphans. Instead, these orphans had been robbed away from their parents on the accusation that the orphans were born against the "One-child Policy". Many parents of these orphans have been trying very hard to get back their children, but in vain. Because these orphans had been adopted by foreign pare1nts. A father had been trying for many years to get back his daughter only found out that his daughter was adopted by an American family. The photograph of his daughter, clad in very beautiful silk Chinese style dress, was published on the New York Times. If you want to know the real China, the book is for you.

WRIC Published "The Orphans of Shao"

          "The Orphans of Shao" consists of case studies that exemplify more than 35-year long-lasting policy in China, the One Child Policy. Due to the effect that the National Law has created, Mr. Pang exposed the corrupted adoption system in China. The farmers in many villages are forced to fines that they cannot afford to pay so the officials take their children away. The officials then sell the children for a low price to government orphanages. The orphanages then put these children up for international adoptions and collect the high prices fees for these adoptions. The international adoptions are usually in Europe and in the United States. These families that adopted these children truly believe that the children are orphans. After their children were kidnapped by the officials, the parents embarked on a long and draining odyssey to recover them. After searching fruitlessly for many years, the heartbroken and desperate parents were on the verge of losing all hope. At that time an investigative reporter discovered new leads for them. The reporter published an exclusive report exposing the kidnapping of their children by the Family Planning officials.

 

            Women's Rights in China (NGO organization) is very fortunate to gain Mr. Pang's copyrights to publish his book in the United States in English. Mr. Pang has suffered many murderous threats due to his work on this book. It is our hope that we can bring one journalist's hard work into fruition as well as the whole truth behind how the government implements the One-Child Policy in China. The product of this book is the result of many volunteers' hard work.
