Hello My Happy People,
This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, I sit down with Qin (“Ching”) Sun Stubis, award-winning author of Once Our Lives. Her memoir shares the unforgettable story of four generations of Chinese women who endured war, revolution, superstition, and persecution, yet still found strength, hope, and resilience.
Born in a Shanghai shantytown during the Great Chinese Famine, Qin faced hardship from her earliest days. Once dismissed as a “worthless” girl and later shunned when her father was imprisoned for speaking the truth about injustice in her country. Qin turned to books and learning as her lifeline. That determination carried her to one of China’s most prestigious universities and eventually to the United States.
Through her writing, Qin seeks to build bridges between cultures and remind us of the common dreams and struggles that unite humanity. Her story of survival and triumph is as inspiring as it is unforgettable.
Today, Qin lives in the United States with her husband, two adult children, and a beloved rescue dog. She continues to write, publish, and speak around the world, sharing stories that inspire strength and understanding.
