Daughter of the Yellow River
Author: Diana Lu

"Daughter of the Yellow River is a testament to perseverance, determination, courage, and success." - Deepak Chopra, best-selling author of Peace Is the Way "Diana Lu's memoir effectively weaves autobiography, advice, cultural insights, and career journey to reveal what many women already know: work is intensely personal. Her sel... more »f-reflection is contagious, and hopefully her perseverance will be as well." - Joanne Gordon, former Forbes staff writer and author of Career Bliss: Secrets from 100 Women Who Love Their Work "Daughter of the Yellow River is an inspiring story of a remarkable woman. From the deprivation of the Chinese Cultural Revolution to success in the Western world, it depicts the victory of determination and pluck over personal and business adversity." - James Pammenter, former director, KPMG Management Consulting "This book vividly proves the power of `You will never know until you try.' Diana Lu provides a simple, compelling approach to building the life of our dreams. This is an authentic road map for anyone pursuing lasting and transformational change in their lives." - Darryl Quan, chief financial officer, Image Global Impact. "Diana's beauty masks a dynamic entrepreneur who knows what she wants to do and does it. Her life story takes her from the struggles of an impoverished childhood in China to success in a highly competitive global industry to a commitment to helping people forge their own paths to fulfillment. She shares her challenges and disappointments, triumphs and achievements, and the lessons she has learned about business and about life." - John Edward, former divisional director, Corning Incorporated. "Inspirational, motivational, and stimulating are words that describe this book. Diana Lu's `can do, can achieve' attitude makes this book a must for those who want to get more out of life. She is proof that if you are an intelligent woman dealing in a male-dominated industry, you can be successful while maintaining an air of sophistication and femininity." - Mike Yell, general manager, Fujitsu Australia & New Zealand When Diana Lu was three years old, her family was forced to leave their comfortable middle-class life in the city to live an impoverished coal-mining village at the edge of the Gobi Desert for China's culture revolution "re-education." Life in that remote place was a constant struggle against hunger and fear. Passionate & determined, Diana resolved to create a better life based on her own talents and dreams; she turned down prestigious job after medical school. Overcoming parental & societal objections, she explored university teaching, real estate, and other fields before finding her niche as a top executive in the optical fiber industry. In 1997 Diana moved to the United States, and launched her own international enterprise, melding the Western & Chinese business cultures to work with clients globally. Operating in a competitive, male-dominated high-tech field, she achieved astounding success -- from earning $30 a month in 1993 to in ten years making sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This inspirational book -- part memoir, part guidebook to personal and business success -- illustrates her remarkable journey. * I am a daughter of the Yellow River. Its waters flow within me like the blood in my veins. * I didn't need to define or limit myself by the circumstances I came from -- what counted was where I was heading. * I realized that our lives will be what we choose to make them… That can be a daunting challenge, but the rewards are immeasurable.
