Over het boek
The House of Gold and Jade tells the story of my grandparents' extraordinary lives. Born in China at the turn of the twentieth century, they lived and raised a family of seven children through tumultuous times, witnessing dramatic changes to their beloved country, from the end of the monarchy, the birth of the young republic of China, the long Sino-Japanese War, the World War II, and the post-war stormy recovery which ended with the communist party taking over the country in 1949.

They lived according to the Confucian principles, with kindness, altruism, and service throughout their lives. Their legacy to their descendants is one education, hard work, leadership, adaptability, and above all, benevolence and love.

Pauline Ho
Bridgewater, NJ, USA

Pauline Y. Ho was born in the United States to Chinese parents, raised in Hong Kong and Brazil, and educated in Brazil and the US, making her a citizen of the world. Before her retirement in 2010, she spent more than 37 years at Johnson & Johnson, where she was one of the first emerging-market executives to run a global franchise for a multi-billion-dollar portfolio. She was widely recognized for her passion to mentor and develop talent around the world. After retirement, at sixty-five, she finally heard God calling her. With a grateful heart, she joined the Catholic Church in 2013 at the Easter Vigil Mass. The writing of “My Journey of Becoming a Catholic” was a work of love, written by God’s grace and inspired by the Holy Spirit to share her learnings with her brothers and sisters in Christ so that we may love God and each other evermore. My gratitude to the many teachers of faith who were instrumental to my journey of faith. Pauline lives in the US with her husband.
