As the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo are approaching, China has come into the spotlight of both the people and the media from all over the world. Understandably, quite a few Westerners have questions concerning China that have to do with politics, society, culture and fashion. This book asks questions and presents answers on topics like why the color red is important in the Chinese culture, what is the Chinese view on money and what auspicious characters are written during festival times. It is a great book for deeper insight into the Chinese culture and society. In English and simplified Chinese characters, a great reading reference for Chinese language students in AP level.
