My German Mother’s Story

Born in Guangzhou (Canton), China, Dr. Alex Feng is the son of Elizabeth Bruckman and Wei Ren Feng. His parents met in Berlin when his father was studying for his doctorate in International Law and then changed to Philosophy.

Elizabeth was the oldest of two daughters and met Wei Ren after she earned a degree in business administration and was working. The unique relationship between this German woman and a Chinese man in the 1940s created a nurturing and provocative environment for their son.

Dr. Feng talks about the life and accomplishments of his Mother and shares his perspective on this interesting couple and family.
