Nancy Pine

Nancy Pine has traveled and studied in China for decades. She is a leading expert on Chinese early childhood education, which led to her book, Educating Young Giants, published by Palgrave Macmillan. In the early 2000s, a friend introduced her to a hard-working, stubborn reformer. With a deep desire to understand rural Chinese life, Nancy joined a teaching project in An Wei’s village. So began years of interviews about his life from debilitating poverty and hunger to becoming an interpreter for leaders and creating a democratic congress in his village. The result – One in a Billion: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey through Modern-Day China - https://Rowman.com. Visit her or sign up for her newsletter at https://nancypine.com
