I'll take good care of it, and return it as soon as I get a chance to re-read it. Thanks, also, for the reading recommendation. I don't know how "truly about China" the links here are - just stuff I picked up on the internet. This is one of the few times I wish I had better TV reception; the spectacle is dimmed quite a bit through the computer screen. -hope you have a good start to your school year...

Both are fascinating first-hand accounts of life in China today. They are memoirs told in first person, but interspersed with lots of information about Chinese history. Also, I will send you <i>The Way of the Human Being</i> by inter-school mail if you're interested. Thanks for the links to the articles about China-- hard to find resources that are truly about China and not about protests about it. I'll be watching the Olympics, too. Not for political reasons, but just for pure spectacle. If you’re interested in literature about modern China you should check out Peter Hessler’s Oracle Bones and River Town.
