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....

New Greeting for“I never spoke in my class, the only time I spoke was because I was forced to do presentations which was part of the total grade for the course. Chinese students will only talk if "not talking" will affect their grades. I rarely talked, and every time I talked, it was grade-related. If you grant points to anyone who made a comment, you will see hands rising up. Otherwise, good luck!! 2 points make a difference if one has an 89 and needs to get an A grade... life-saver points...”posted by Olivia

“The first novel I remember that I loved was The Good Earth. I have read it at least a dozen times. The last book that I read was Snowflower and the Secret Fan. I loved it so much, I gave it as a Christmas gift to a few friends. I love any novel”
