Life Under the Eastern Sky

Essays about Contemporary Chinese CultureThis book offers an intimate picture of life in modern China, by focusing on the past and the present. The essays are informal, easy to read, but filled with crucial information that a traveller, businessman, or student needs to know when traveling, living or working in China. One author is a native Chinese; one author is a native American; one is male; one is female. They have cooperated together for many years as educators and both desire to give their readers an engaging perspective on life in the PRC. You will find the scope of knowledge broad but pertinent, especially in regard to culture and language norms. We hope you will enjoy this little red book - a post-Mao, post modern red book.
