This book is about the life journey of one of "The Last Generation of Nei Di Ren (people from the hinterland);" who were born between 1937 and 1950 in mainland China, grew up in Taiwan, and now reside in the United States. Years from now, when Chinese historians will study this period, they'll find that we, the Nei Di Ren, are a unique group of people caught between Eastern and Western cultures. We have held on to our Chinese heritage while eagerly embracing western civilization. We are the last generation of Nei Di Ren, who will gradually be gone with the wind. The author, Xin Huai Nan, is a management book award winner turned columnist whose weekly essays appeared in Northern America's two largest Chinese newspapers, World Journal and Sing Tao Daily, for over 25 years without skipping a week. Among the 2,000,000-word database of Nan's works, only 8% has been included in this book. They are divided into three categories: In My Head, From My Heart, and With My Soul. 'In My Life' is the only English book published by Mr. Xin, a conservative with a heart, a liberal with a head, an intellectual with a conscience, and a lonely man with a kind soul. In short, it is a testimony of the strange life-long journey the author experienced.
