Introduction
There are plenty of wonderful books about China that focus on tangible cultural artifacts. But this book focuses more on people than things. It covers everything from the Lantern Festival to Shaolin kung fu, and from stand-up comedy to traditional doll-making. Yes, some of the articles do talk about architecture, like the old Western-style residences of Shanghai, and some do mention objets d'art, like modern sculpture, but people make up the heart and soul of this book. We want to show how culture plays a part of and impacts the daily life of people in China , and to show a little of how Chinese people live, think, and see the world.
