Ni Wencai came of age in the early days of the Post-Mao era. He holds a B.A. in Law from Nanjing Normal University, and a M.A.in Economics from Macquarie University in Australia. He had a three-decades career in the county government of his hometown Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province, serving as Deputy Mayor, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Chairman of the Gaoyou People's Political Consultative Conference. Ni Wencai's interests extend far beyond his bureaucratic duties. He is an avid historian, writer and philatelist, and has continued to be a prolific scholar and writer in his official retirement. Aside from Love Without Borders, his publications include《故事里 的故事-1931年高邮特大洪灾和运堤修复历史再现纪实》The 1931 Flood Disaster at Gaoyou and Restoration of the Canal Dykes; the historical novel 《驿站风云》Storms Over the Postal Station, which became the basis for a popular television series; and numerous articles about local historical figures and events. He is the honorary president of the National Philatelist Museum in Gaoyou. Vivian Ling has enjoyed a long career teaching Chinese language and literature at Oberlin College and Indiana University, and directing language and cultural immersion programs in Taipei, Shanghai, Kunming and Beijing. She is the author of many academic books, including The Field of Chinese Language Education in the U.S.: A Retrospective of the 20th Century. In retirement, she has reoriented her work to bring Chinese culture out of its academic niche into the mainstream of our interconnected world today. Her recent publications include A Bilingual Treasury of Chinese Folktales and The Twelve Animals of the Chinese Zodiac, both designed for all readers young at heart.
""Love Without Borders is a powerful testament to the courage, sacrifice, and boundless love of families who have embraced abandoned Chinese children as their own. Through their stories, we are reminded that love transcends borders, cultural barriers, and tense international relations. This book is sure to open hearts, spark conversations, and remind us that all humankind is one family."" - Clyde Xi, President, Village of the Stars ""Here are the stories of the parents and children who, against all odds, found each other and built much more than their own families. Told from the unique perspective of Ni Wencai, and expertly edited and translated by Vivian Ling, these stories are a timely testament to the idea that connections between people can be built and sustained beyond borders."" - Mark Lenhart, Executive Director, CET Academic Programs
