Sinossi

Bound Feet Walk intimately explores the life of a Chinese woman navigating early 20th-century China and immigrating to America, highlighting themes of female resilience and cultural clash. The book delves into the oppressive practice of foot-binding, a tradition that physically and socially restricted women, and contrasts it with the immigrant experience in America, where Chinese newcomers faced discrimination and hardship. The narrative emphasizes the protagonist's journey from physical bondage to intellectual and emotional liberation, offering a nuanced perspective on immigrant assimilation.

 
This biography unfolds in three parts: the protagonist's early life in China, her arduous journey to America, and her efforts to establish herself and contribute to her community. Using historical research, family records, and oral histories, the book provides a comprehensive portrayal of her life and social context. It reveals how even within restrictive circumstances, the human spirit can triumph through determination and adaptability.

 
By weaving together a personal story with the broader historical narrative of Chinese immigration, Bound Feet Walk offers a compelling exploration of its themes. This book is valuable to those interested in women's history, immigration studies, and Chinese culture, presenting factual information in an engaging and accessible manner.

The Great UN-Reset - Humanity's...

Constantine du Bruyn

Why is it that our highly-interconnected and globalized world seems more chaotic and dangerous than ever? Have you ever wondered why the world seems to lurch from seemingly unconnected crisis to crisis? From the pandemic to climate change and net-zero policies? From food shortages to high inflation and collapsing markets? But are they really unconnected? This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. 
Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future, with the threat of transhumanism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, central bank digital currencies, universal basic income and digital IDs looming ever closer. 
This book compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence to expose the dystopian goals of a global control matrix lying in the shadows. By reading this book, you become part of humanity’s fight back against the new world order being forced on the globe. We must fight for our freedoms and for those of generations to come. 
Humanity can, and will, win.
