REDISCOVERING CHINA
Chinese title: Blond hair blue eyes looking at China, (Jinfa biyan kan Zhongguo, 金发碧眼看中国)
China is the place to be in the world at the moment. As it is now a transient country, while Westerners are floating to and from China, more and more Chinese are showing an increased interest in discovering the Western world.
There are many people in China who would like to travel to the West, study abroad or work in a foreign company. But to be able to successfully do things together, it is important that we first understand each other. Then we can avoid misunderstandings and build more prosperous relationships.
This book is about cultural differences. Its’ purpose is to help Chinese better understand Westerners and Western thinking. It deals with all kinds of situations, from studying at universities in Beijing to living in a traditional Chinese courtyard, from different ways of looking at things to humorous misunderstandings.
It is probably the first known book to showcase experiences like this especially for a Chinese audience in China.
