Description
In his memoirs, Lim Hen Chin, born in Ipoh in 1940, recalls his early years and his search for a way out of poverty. His journey is described against a backdrop of enormous socio-political changes: the independence of Malaya, the war against the Communists, and the birth pains of a new nation. It tells of a young man's determination and of his sister's unwavering belief in him. The road to success is potholed with threats of recession, unrecognised qualifications and fallings-out. In later years, success brings troubles of its own and fails to deliver happiness and peace. Resigned to the life that fate has dealt him, true peace remains a shimmering mirage in the distance, until he makes a decision that changes his life.ISBN: 9789832969051
