Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze by Elizabeth Foreman Lewis
When Young Fu arrives with his mother in bustling 1920s Chungking, all he has seen of the world is the rural farming village where he has grown up. He knows nothing of city life. But the city, with its wonders and dangers, fascinates the 13-year-old boy, and he sets out to make the best of what it has to offer him.
First published in 1932, Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze was one of the earliest Newbery Medal winners. Although China has changed since that time, Young Fu's experiences are universal: making friends, making mistakes, and making one's way in the world.
Lewis, Elizabeth Foreman (d. In 1917, she moved to China to study the Chinese language and history and worked as a teacher in Shanghai, Chungking, and Nanking. Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze is her first book.
