Halt the shipping and printing of "Bend, not break"
Halt the shipping and printing of "Bend, not break"
The Issue
Many has questioned the accuracy of American entrepreneur Ping Fu's memoir "Bend, not break: a life in two worlds" since Ping Fu's interview with Forbes that was titled "One Woman's Journey From China's Cultural Revolution To Top American Tech Entrepreneur". Ping Fu has since retracted many of the "facts and statements" in her responses. In a "The Guardian" report, (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/feb/13/ping-fu-controversy-china-cultural-revolution ), Penguin's publisher Adrian Zackheim said, "Sometimes, despite everyone's best efforts, minor mistakes appear in nonfiction books". Please tell Mr. Zackheim that these are not minor details. They are either facts or lies. Penguin readers deserve to know the facts. Tell Penguin to stop the shipping and printing of the book until all the facts are verified.
