Patriot Number One by Lauren Hilgers

This is a true account of a Chinese man and his wife who left their Chinese village to seek asylum in the United States. Zhuang Liehong fears that his protests against the corrupt local government will end up with his imprisonment. He and his wife, Little Yan leave their infant son and travel to America. There in Flushing, New York they seek a better life and experience the ups and downs of adjusting to life in a new country along with keeping in touch what is happening in China.

This book shows what it is like for a Chinese immigrant to struggle with a new language, finding a job, and being separated from their loved ones. It is an eye opening look into the lives of those coming to this country seeking a better life.
