Description:
Foreword by Janet YellenWeijian Shan's Out of the Gobi is a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America.Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America. Out of the Gobi draws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds.Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao™s policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China™s history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan™s improbable journey, from the Gobi to the śPeople™s Republic of Berkeleyť and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story “ told with a splash of humor, deep insight and rich and engaging detail.This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will inform Americans' view of China, humanizing the country, while providing a rare view of America from the prism of a keen foreign observer who lived the American dream.Says former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen: śShan™s life p

BUYER BEWARE NOT A AUTHORIZED EPSON SELLER & YOU CANNOT REG THIS PRINTER
I purchased the Epson SureColor F170 from 6Ave through Amazon and discovered during setup that I could not register the printer with Epson. After contacting Epson customer support, I was informed that 6Ave is not an authorized Epson reseller for this product. That the serial number was invalid and likely from overseas. When I had been trying it I got "INVALID SERIAL NUMBER" and when I thought maybe the 0 was an O I got a message that it had already been registered. As a result, Epson would not allow me to register the printer, which raises concerns about warranty coverage and access to manufacturer support. Had this been disclosed before purchase, I would have purchased from an authorized dealer instead. Consumers should be clearly informed when a seller is not authorized by the manufacturer, especially for a product that represents a significant investment. Very disappointing experience. I am glad I was able to contact Amazon and report them.

Excellent quality results from this little printer!
I read reviews for a lot of sublimation printers, and this always came out top within my price range. The results are fabulous. I’ve used it to produce images on t-shirts, bags, beer koozies, aluminum, glass and mugs, and so far I haven’t been disappointed at all!
I’m using a Mac with Cricut, and it takes a while to get used to the Epson Mac setup, so here’s my tip. You need to print mirrored, especially if you have text, so that when you heat press your work it ends up the correct way around. The Mac driver automatically mirrors everything by default, but you still need the mirror on if you use Cricut, so that the cutting device knows exactly where to cut. So leave the mirror on with Cricut Maker and choose “print with system dialogue” and under the printer info section of the pop up when you go to print, turn off the mirroring. Also, the printer dialogue window never seems to come to the front of the other windows, so don’t sit and wait for hours wondering why it’s not printing. Move your Cricut Maker window and find the print window.
I’m super happy with the results I’m getting. I’m using original Epson ink so I don’t void any warranty, and I’m using regular sublimation paper.
Enjoy your crafting!!
