A Native of Beijing in New York, also known as Beijinger in New York (simplified Chinese: 北京人在纽约; traditional Chinese: 北京人在紐約; pinyin: Běijīngrén zài Niǔ Yuē), is a novel by Glen Cao (曹桂林), based on his own immigrant story. It was translated into English by Ted Wang (卡本特王). The story follows Qiming Wang and his wife Yan Guo as they work towards the American dream — telling of their immigration, employment, the rearing of their daughter, their eventual success and tragedy — in the foreign environment of the United States. The book was China's #1 best-seller for 1991.
