The Opium Lord’s Daughter

Born in Japan and raised in Hong Kong before moving to the United States nearly 50 years ago, Chinese American businessman Robert Wang has a firsthand perspective of both Asian and Western cultures and their entwined history.  Since he first learned as a schoolboy how the Opium War formed the basis for modern Chinese politics and history, Wang has been fascinated by this period, spending years researching its history, facts, and fictions, including a research trip to Guangzhou, where he was granted rare private tours of its museums, led by some of China’s preeminent scholars. What he saw and learned eventually found its way into his first book, The Opium Lord’s Daughter.
