'The author has invented the Wen family which lived in three eras which led to the Communist State of today. The Late Imperial era of decaying civil control through a central government; The Warlord era that decentralized power for personal gain; and the New China which followed the revolution, the civil war and the Communist takeover. The author drew his characters from literature cited in the suggested reading list and tried to frame each of the family in their time to show how they were motivated. He has tried to view life from their perspective and context. The historical frame work is as true as possible, and names of historical persons were left unchanged to help the reader do further research on their own.' ; Signed by Author. Fine .
