The book "Pao" — Керри ЯнгPao. Fourteen-year-old Yang Pao steps off the ship from China with his mother and brother, after his father has died fighting for the revolution. They are to live with Zhang, the godfather of Chinatown, who mesmerises Pao with stories of glorious Chinese socialism on one hand, and the reality of his protection business on the other. When Pao takes over the familys affairs he becomes a powerful man. He sets his sights on marrying well, but when Gloria Campbell, a black prostitute, comes to him for help he is drawn to her beauty and strength. They begin a relationship that continues even after Pao marries Fay Wong, the acceptable but headstrong daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant. As the political violence escalates in the 1960s the lines between Paos socialist ideals and private ambitions become blurred. Jamaica is transforming, the tides of change are rising, and the one-time boss of Chinatown finds himself cast adrift. Richly imagined and utterly captivating, Pao is a dazzling tale of race, class and colour, love and ambition, and a country at a historical crossroads.
Четырнадцатилетний Ян Бао сходит с корабля из Китая вместе с матерью и братом, после того, как его отец погиб, сражаясь за революцию. Они должны жить с Чжаном, «крестным отцом» Чайнатауна, который пичкает Pao рассказами о славном китайском социализме, с одной стороны и защите своего бизнеса, с другой. Когда Pao берет на себя дела семьи, он становится могущественным человеком. Он устанавливает свои взгляды на брак, но когда Глория Кэмпбелл, черная проститутка, приходит к нему за помощью, он обращается к ее красоте и силе. |
