Ho-Ming, Girl of New China
About this book
"Impatient of the ways of the past, she was eager to experiment with life."
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing 1930s China, Ho-Ming, Girl of New China by Newbery Medal-winning author Elizabeth Foreman Lewis is a heartwarming and vivid coming-of-age story. Ho-Ming is the twelve-year-old second daughter of a poor farming family. Restless, mischievous, and fiercely intelligent, she finds herself caught in a tight web of ancient traditions, superstitions, and social expectations.
When Ho-Ming crosses paths with a pioneering female Chinese doctor, her worldview cracks wide open. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and ambition, she makes a daring break from the past—refusing to let her spirit be bound by tradition. Despite the heavy criticism of her village, Ho-Ming fights for the right to go to school, eventually diving into the study of modern medicine to help her people.
Spanning a landscape often threatened by bandits, famine, and political upheaval, this classic historical novel offers a brilliant, empathetic portrait of a young woman claiming her freedom and navigating the thrilling, turbulent birth of a "New China".
