Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A guide to understanding the Chinese which dispels or confirms preconceived prejudices with humor and insight.

About the Author

Zhu Song has three phrases she dislikes: "Where are you from?", "Why, you speak perfect English!", and "You're so lucky to be able to speak Chinese!". Her responses are "How much time do you have?", "Why yes, I speak it better than you", and "That's because I am Chinese. Fancy that". The Chinese expect rusty Mandarin, the English an Asian accent, and the Americans an American one. She routinely confounds them all.
