This book is fun yet serious-a true, courageous, entertaining adventure in which the author comes to China, initially on a mission to teach. Wide-ranging in scope, it addresses the COVID-19 crisis, culture, history, people, politics, art, interesting facts, traditions, economics, philosophies, visa issues, in addition to work, travel and, of course, romance. The Featurettes section includes, among other things, a China time-line relative to world events, basic Mandarin language guide, conversion chart, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the People's Republic China Constitution, a treatise on the new antagonistic China map, and a surprise conclusion. Pictures help to tell the tale. Tad Miller offers the world a fresh, honest access to this ancient though modernizing place in a humorous style-a really great start for getting to know authentic China-and human nature.
