Talking about China was one of the author's first books about China, where she have now lived for almost 17 years. Very popular especially among westerners who live in China, the booklet was ready for its third reprint when the publisher decided to produce a completely new book. What is the special interest of this bilingual collection of articles? On the one hand, Talking about China may serve as a textbook for Chinese readers who want to improve their English, or for non-Chinese people studying Chinese language. The author's style is simple and easily accessible. On the other hand, the reading of these articles provides a chance to see how rapidly China--a rather unpredictable country--has changed. In this aspect, the book shows that China is a country on the move, and this can be felt in the following pages.
