Journalist, author, and speaker Dori Jones Yang released her first memoir, “When the Red Gates Opened: A Memoir of China’s Reawakening,” on Sept. 22.
Yang has written seven previous books, including a best-selling business book about Starbucks and two award-winning novels about Chinese children in America.
“Red Gates” is a memoir of Yang’s eight years as a BusinessWeek reporter covering Hong Kong and China. She shares about meeting and marrying a Chinese man, having a baby overseas, and how China changed during the 1980s when it first opened to the outside world.
