The cooked seed by Anchee Min, 2013 edition, in English - First U.S. The Cooked Seed picks up where her previous memoir, Red Azalea left off, focusing on her move to the United States in 1984 and her unwavering goal of getting a green card. The immigration experience can arguably rival her experience in the labor collective in China. There's good reason chia seeds are seemingly everywhere in the health world. These tiny seeds are high in protein, fiber, calcium, antioxidants, and omega-3s, but there is a right and wrong way to.

Title: The Cooked Seed: A Memoir Author: Anchee Min Publisher: Bloomsbury USA, 2020 Format: PDF Size: 6.6 MB Pages: 368 In 1994, Anchee Min made her literary debut with a memoir of growing up in China during the violent trauma of the Cultural Revolution. Red Azalea became an international bestseller and propelled her career as a successful, critically acclaimed author. Twenty years later, Min returns to the story of her own life to give us the next chapter, an immigrant story that takes her from the shocking deprivations of her homeland to the sudden bounty of the promised land of America, without language, money, or a clear path. It is a hard and lonely road. She teaches herself English by watching Sesame Street, keeps herself afloat working five jobs at once, lives in unheated rooms, suffers rape, collapses from exhaustion, marries poorly and divorces. But she also gives birth to her daughter, Lauryann, who will inspire her and finally root her in her new country. Min's eventual successes-her writing career, a daughter at Stanford, a second husband she loves-are remarkable, but it is her struggle throughout toward genuine selfhood that elevates this dramatic, classic immigrant story to something powerfully universal.
