As a semi autobiographical novel, from Nairobi to Shenzhen is a semi autobiographical novel published in English by avantino news. David, the protagonist of the novel, comes to China at the time of the September 11 incident and the outbreak of the international war. He deeply falls in love with a beautiful Chinese girl and a little orphan, which urges him to reflect on his life experience in Kenya and the United States, such as the complex multi-ethnic family and the disharmonious relationship between father and son. "It's mainly about realizing dreams and introspection in human nature," Mark said. Mark said he was inspired by his brother Obama to consider writing a book about their family's past. Mark was beaten and scolded by his father when he was a child, and his mother was deeply tortured by his father's violence. Mark put this painful memory in dust until 10 years ago when he wrote a book in the form of semi autobiography. "When I reached middle age, I felt that I should reflect on the past. I remembered my mother's situation in domestic violence, so I decided to let the world know about my childhood."
