Chinese cast doubt over executive's rags to riches tale
Her story is an incredible tale of triumph over tragedy: a tormented
childhood during China's Cultural Revolution, detention and forced exile
after exposing female infanticide – then glittering success as the head of
a major US technology firm.
"It sounds too unbelievable for fiction, but this is the true story of a
life in two worlds," enthuses the website for Ping Fu's autobiography, Bend
Not Break. In one interview to promote the book, the entrepreneur related
how Michelle Obama had invited her back to the White House for a nightcap
after the 2010 State of the Union address.
But after Chinese readers flagged up a series of inconsistencies and
improbabilities in interviews she has given, Fu has been forced to defend
her book from accusations that some of it is exaggerated or untrue. "I am
shocked and saddened by the things that have been said," Fu told the
Guardian. "It is very, very hurtful because it brings me right back to what
happened to me when I was eight years old."
Fu is chief executive and cofounder of the 3D software company Geomagic,
whose laser scanning technology has been used by Hollywood film studios, car
designers and historians making a precise replica of the Statue of Liberty.
She arrived in the US aged 25, passing through college and spells as a
babysitter, cleaner and waitress before rising to her current position as a
prominent business executive and board member of the White House advisory
panel, the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Many of the questions swirling around Bend Not Break relate to the 54-year-
old's horrifying account of being wrenched from her parents when the
Cultural Revolution started in 1966, and sent to a re-education camp where
she was gang-raped at the age of 10. An estimated 36 million people were
persecuted during the turmoil of that time and numerous families were torn
apart.
But sceptics, including Fang Zhouzi, an influential blogger who scrutinises
Chinese academia, say much of Fu's story does not ring true. Fu has now
acknowledged that her 2010 account to NPR radio of being forced to watch Red
Guards executing a teacher by using four horses to tear the victim apart
was an "emotional memory" and probably wrong.
"When I was young, these are the stories being told to us and in my
nightmares they come back again and again. That time was so traumatic. I was
taken away from my parents," she said.
But she now accepts that her imagination may have played tricks. "Somehow in
my mind I always thought I saw it, but now I'm not sure my memory served me
right. I probably saw it in a movie or something, and I acknowledge that's
a problem."
There are also queries about the circumstances surrounding her departure
from China. The opening line of the book reads: "When I was 25 years old,
the Chinese government quietly deported me." Sceptics point out that usually
only prominent dissidents go into exile by arrangement.
Fu said she hadn't used "deported" in the draft of her memoir. The word was
suggested as an amendment by her co-author and editors as a way to "attract
readers".
But she added that by the dictionary definition it was accurate to say she
had been deported. "If you are asked to leave your country and it is not
voluntary, that is a form of deportation."
According to Fu's book, she was forced to leave because of her university
thesis on female infanticide prompted by the one-child policy. A Shanghai
newspaper learned of her groundbreaking research and "called for an end to
the madness" in an editorial comment subsequently republished by the People'
s Daily – in what would have been an astonishing move for the staid
official Communist party newspaper. That sparked an international outcry and
her detention, she wrote.
After Fang said he found no trace of the commentary, Fu responded in a
column in the Huffington Post: "I remember reading an editorial in a
newspaper in 1982 that called for gender equality. It was not a news article
and not written by me, and I didn't know it had anything to do with my
research. When writing the book, I did not name the paper, since I wasn't
certain. However, I think that is where I read the editorial because it was
the most popular and official newspaper."
Adrian Zackheim, publisher of Portfolio books, Penguin's business imprint,
said he stood by Bend Not Break, adding that he had "absolute confidence" in
Fu and her memoir. "I have no doubts that the book is substantially correct
and that attempts to pick apart elements of it are political attacks."
Zackheim said Portfolio had no plans to look into the veracity of the book.
"This is a memoir of a woman's life, it's not a work of journalism. Are
there errors in the book? I can't say, but if there are they are errors of
memory."
