Requests:  0 Summary:  "After the 1949 Communist Revolution, Desmond Shum's grandfather was marked as belonging to a despised "black category" that included former landlords and rich peasants--meaning the Shums would be stigmatized and impoverished. As Desmond was growing up, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and sheer tenacity Shum earned an American college degree and returned to China to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China's male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond made an effective team, and, aided by relationships they formed with top members of the red aristocracy, vaulted into China's billionaire class. Soon they were developing the massive air cargo facility at Beijing International Airport, and they followed that feat with the creation of one of Beijing's premier hotels. They were dazzlingly successful, traveling in private jets, funding multi-million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchasing expensive homes, vehicles, and art. But in 2017, their fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while residing overseas with his son, learned that his now ex-wife Whitney had vanished along with three coworkers. This is both Desmond's story and Whitney's, because she cannot tell it herself."--- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.06109 Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.06109 Shum Sh Lost 12/03/2021 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.06109 Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Biography B Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.06109 Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Biography B Shum Sh Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.06109 Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 951.06109 Shum Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
