Literary Lunch

Savour a delicious M luncheon and listen to the improbable true story of Robert Reuven Sokal, a young refugee from Vienna, who falls in love with Julie Chenchu Yang from a well-to-do Ningbo family, in wartime Shanghai. The story, one of the few love stories between an European emigrant and a Chinese, allows journalist Schomann to explore Jewish immigration into Shanghai and, at the same time, the situation in China during World War II.
