The Chinese culture is one that has long history and that is intriguing in every single way, even to a Chinese like me. I hope that through this book club I will make new friends in America and I can discover something new about my culture by helping others learn what I know very well. Join us for great discussion, new discoveries of the Chinese foods, arts, & celebrations etc....

      “Hi. I've had a deep and dividing interest in Chinese history and culture (as well as the history and culture of many other areas of the world) since childhood. I am an avid reader, although I must confess I've never read a chinese book.”
