…Just about every review on Amazon claims this woman is a narcissistic. Okay. That's fine with me. But then they also claim she went to court for tax evasion, stemming back from her early 2000s tax returns. Trialed in 2010, she was convicted then subsequently deported. Oh MY! It actually makes me want to go back and pick the book up, though. But the reason I point this out is because it's touted as an inspirational autobiography, but told by a woman driven by greed.
Heh. And still I think I want to go back and get this book!
For the sake of providing a synopsis…
"When Diana Lu was three years old, her family was forced to leave their comfortable middle class life in the city to live an impoverished coal-mining village at the edge of the Gobi Desert for China s culture revolution "reeducation." Life in that remote place was a constant struggle against hunger and fear. Passionate & determined, Diana resolved to create a better life based on her own talents and dreams; she turned down prestigious job after medical school. Overcoming parental & societal objections, she explored university teaching, real estate, and other fields before finding her niche as a top executive in the optical fiber industry. In 1997 Diana moved to the United States, and launched her own international enterprise, melding the Western & Chinese business cultures to work with clients globally. Operating in a competitive, male-dominated high-tech field, she achieved astounding success from earning $30 a month in 1993 to in ten years making sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This inspirational book part memoir, part guidebook to personal and business success illustrates her remarkable journey."
