Shaoping Wu Moss

Shaoping Moss was a college teacher of English in China in the 1980s. She met Leonard Moss, a Fulbright scholar, in Beijing and after winning a bitter fight against the Chinese bureaucracy they married and moved to the United States. She and Leonard co-authored a book, China Was Paradise! China Was Hell! about their experiences in China. Later she attended the library school at Simmons College and became an academic librarian, working at three small library arts colleges with a brief stint at the UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies library.

After leaving the workplace she started a new career in writing. She wrote an article, "Management Microaggression at the Workplace," describing the unfair treatment she encountered at the workplace in America. She also wrote an article, "How to be a Parent," The third one "Our Life at Rossmoor," is about the happy life she and Leonard enjoyed in Rossmoor, an active senior community, and the issues she discovered in the community. In addition, she published a book on Raising a Dragon Son--A Chinese Mom's memoir, in which she talks about the dynamics of “East meet West” in bringing up a child. The second book Growing Up in China describes her 35 years of personal life in mainland China. The latter part of the book focuses on her experiences in trying to marry, Leonard Moss, then her American boyfriend. She is also the co-author of Leonard's last book Creating an Identity.
