Huan Hsu, a first-generation Chinese American and journalist, was raised in Salt Lake City. Armed with mere strands of a family legend, he returns to China to discover the fate of his great-great-grandfather’s vast and prized porcelain collection, buried in 1938 for safekeeping from the Japanese. The Porcelain Thief provides a personal glimpse into understanding the bloody, tragic and largely forgotten events that defined Chinese history in the 19th and 20th century.
