By: Edward WongWinner of the Baifang Schell Book Prize • 2025 Orwell Prize Finalist
One of The Washington Post’s 50 Notable Nonfiction Books of 2024
“A sprawling, complex morality tale, sweeping us along.” —The Wall Street Journal
“In telling this personal story about family memory, exile and return, the book also takes in the breadth of [China’s] evolution during the 20th century.” —The Washington Post
“This book’s power comes from Wong’s broad sense of the patterns of Chinese history, reflected in the lives of a father and son, and from his ability to toggle effortlessly between the epic and the intimate.” —Gal Beckerman, The Atlantic
“Edward Wong’s exquisite family chronicle achieves a level of humane illumination that only one of America’s finest reporters on China could deliver. In tracing his father’s journey—from Hong Kong to Xinjiang to America—Wong gives us a profound story of modern China itself. Anyone who once was absorbed by the power of Wild Swans will savor this meditation on memory, history, and belonging.” —Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition, winner of the National Book Award
One of Foreign Policy’s Most Anticipated Books of 2024
An epic story of modern China that weaves a riveting family memoir with vital reporting by the New York Times diplomatic correspondent
The son of Chinese immigrants in Washington, DC, Edward Wong grew up among family secrets. His father toiled in Chinese restaurants and rarely spoke of his native land or his years in the People’s Liberation Army under Mao. Yook Kearn Wong came of age during the Japanese occupation in World War II and the Communist revolution, when he fell under the spell of Mao’s promise of a powerful China. His astonishing journey as a soldier took him from Manchuria during the Korean War to Xinjiang on the Central Asian frontier. In 1962, disillusioned with the Communist Party, he made plans for a desperate escape to Hong Kong.
When Edward Wong became the Beijing bureau chief for The New York Times, he investigated his father’s mysterious past while assessing for himself the dream of a resurgent China. He met the citizens driving the nation’s astounding economic boom and global expansion—and grappling with the vortex of nationalistic rule under Xi Jinping, the most powerful leader since Mao. Following in his father’s footsteps, he witnessed ethnic struggles in Xinjiang and Tibet and pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. And he had an insider’s view of the world’s two superpowers meeting at a perilous crossroads.
Wong tells a moving chronicle of a family and a nation that spans decades of momentous change and gives profound insight into a new authoritarian age transforming the world. A groundbreaking book, At the Edge of Empire is the essential work for understanding China today.

A reliable purchase doing exactly what I expected
Item Package Quantity: 1
Look, you know how it is – what’s a game-changer for one person is just another Tuesday for another. For me, this Puroma Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon landed exactly where most good products do: solid and dependable.
It arrived precisely as described, the activated carbon element is there, and it installed without a hitch in my vehicle. The air quality inside definitely feels cleaner, and it's doing its job filtering out the usual suspects. Does it redefine the very concept of cabin air filtration or deliver some earth-shattering innovation? Nah, not really. It’s a well-made, effective replacement that perfectly fulfills its purpose without any fuss or unexpected brilliance.
A reliable purchase doing exactly what I expected. A firm 4 stars.

Easy Cabin Filter Swap For Cleaner Air
Item Package Quantity: 1
I picked up this Puroma cabin air filter to replace the old one in my Honda and it has worked out very well. It fit the housing just like the original, slid in without any forcing, and the whole swap took only a few minutes. The construction feels solid for the price and the edges seal properly so air is not just bypassing the filter.
After installing it, the air from the vents smelled noticeably fresher, especially when using recirculate. The activated carbon layer seems to help cut down on that stale or slightly musty smell that builds up over time. For something that is easy to forget about, changing this filter makes a real difference in everyday driving comfort.
If you have a compatible Honda or Acura and want an affordable replacement that you can install yourself instead of paying dealership prices, this Puroma cabin filter is a very practical option.

Great Quality Filter and Perfect Fit for My 2022 CR-V
I bought this EPAuto air filter for my 2022 Honda CR-V 1.5L, and it couldn’t have been easier to install. It fits exactly like the original — snug and secure — and the whole process took under five minutes without any tools. Just open the air box, pull out the old filter, and drop this one in.
The quality feels solid with a sturdy frame and well-made filter material. It’s not flimsy at all, and you can tell it’s built to last. After swapping it in, I noticed the engine felt a bit smoother, and there was a slight improvement in responsiveness, especially during acceleration. I’m also hoping it helps with fuel efficiency over time.
Honestly, for the price and convenience, this is a no-brainer. It’s a simple upgrade you can do yourself that helps protect your engine and saves you money on dealership replacements. Highly recommended if you drive a newer CR-V like mine!
