Please join us for a reading and discussion with Helen Zia, author of Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution—who will be in conversation with Tiffany Chang Lawson, Executive Director of Governor Tom Wolf’s Advisory Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs!

About Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The dramatic real life stories of four young people caught up in the mass exodus of Shanghai in the wake of China’s 1949 Communist revolution—a heartrending precursor to the struggles faced by emigrants today.
