Dragon With A Cane: Profiles In Ageing: China'S Forgotten Generation

In his first book, Enter the Ageing Dragon?, Bromme Hampton Cole artfully narrated the emergence of modern aged-care in China through the entertaining lens of classical film. He explored the efforts of the Chinese to reconcile local customs of care giving to international standards and examined foreign companies? efforts to find their footing in a nascent industry. In Dragon with a Cane he reaches beyond the realm of aged-care business issues and penetrates the human experience of ageing in China. Using his innate ability to effectively communicate, Bromme Hampton Cole interviews 9 elderly Chinese men and women and presents their vulnerabilities and intimate challenges with profound human sentience. Collectively, the stories depict a cultural odyssey of those whose lives began in the early 20th century and are coming to a close in the dawn of the 21st century; a mix of tragedies and joyous victories, these profiles convey a real history of the subject's lives, respectfully and poignantly. Cole draws upon each story's lesson and presents a comprehensive theory of aged-care in China. Dragon with a Cane is, in a very real sense, an ethnographic manifesto of the elderly Chinese experience.
