While most immigrants to the United States seek better lives than what they had, author Anna Chao Pai’s parents came seeking safety from the Japanese; they left a life of luxury and power to become ordinary American citizens.Anna was born in Beijing, China and immigrated to America in 1940. Fleeing the Japanese, her family went from being important, high-ranking officials and warlords, to refugees of war and ultimately suburban life in America. Her mother was not able to assimilate to American culture - going from a Manchurian Princess to suburban mom was not easy.  Anna went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in zoology from Sweet Briar College, a master’s degree in embryology from Bryn Mawr College, and a Ph.D. degree in genetics from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She taught at Montclair State University in New Jersey for 28 years and retired as Professor Emerita.She’s the author of a new book entitled, From Manchurian Princess to the American Dream: An Anecdotal Memoir of Two Immigrant Lives.
