He wrote about the deprivation and torture his parents suffered during China's Cultural Revolution and their subsequent "tiger parenting" style, including "the burden of what he sees as "impossible aspirations, the studious academic, the obedient son," who was "belittled and punished" for perceived failures in his book We Were Dreamers.
