CHSA Book Talk: "Mysteries from My Childhood: How I Found Out My Parents Were Spies in WWII"

  • September 12, 2026
  • 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
  • CHSA Museum, 965 Clay St, San Francisco, CA

Join the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) on September 12 for a presentation and Q&A discussion of John T. Lee's book Mysteries from My Childhood.

How did a Hong Kong artist become an unexpected underground hero during WWII?

In his book, John T. Lee presents a transpacific story of immigration and return over several generations in one family, parts of which will be familiar to readers throughout the global Chinese diaspora. With a unique blend of family history and world events, Lee’s book shines a light on lesser-known topics, such as the overseas Chinese support for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the 1911 Revolution, and the existence of an underground network in Hong Kong during World War II.
