Some books about foreign travel provide the reader with a basic
list of what to do and where to go when visiting an unfamiliar
country. In Memoirs of China, however, readers get to see what
daily life in China, and Beijing in particular, is really like.
From his thoughts about leaving home alone and arriving in Beijing
for the first time, to his daily experiences in teaching and
interacting with students and faculty at China Youth University for
Political Sciences, the author provides personal reminiscences that
give readers an almost-palpable sense of life in modern China. In
this book you will read about the author's experiences at some
well-known sites, such as the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. But
you will mostly discover the real China. You will learn about the
"English corner," a spot at People's University where every Friday
night hundreds of people gather to speak and listen to English. You
will learn what it would be like to attend the Beijing Auto Show,
visit a kindergarten class at a Montessori school, get lost in a
women's dormitory, and take a four-hour pedicab trip operated by an
unlicensed guide. And, most important, you will learn about the
friendships that can develop when one person travels alone to a
foreign country. As the author points out, even though he went to
China to teach, he probably learned as much, if not more, than his
students. Readers of this book will likely feel the same way.
