As a child, she loved to read but hated Chinese school: there was too much rote memorisation and not enough fun. When her daughter turned 3, Deborah searched for Chinese/bilingual books like her beloved English children's classics: captivating stories with vivid characters told in everyday language?but she struggled. Most are written for Mandarin speakers or assume the adult reader is fluent-and she can't even read the Chinese menu in a restaurant. It was hard to keep her daughter interested when she always had to stop reading to look up or explain the Chinese characters and phrases (especially since standard written Chinese is very different to spoken Cantonese). So she wrote a book they could read together?without a dictionary!

Download or read book Chinese Lessons written by John Pomfret and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2006-08-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A highly personal, honest, funny and well-informed account of China's hyperactive effort to forget its past and reinvent its future."—The New York Times Book Review As one the first American students admitted to China after the communist revolution, John Pomfret was exposed to a country still emerging from the twin tragedies of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Crammed into a dorm room with seven Chinese men, Pomfret contended with all manner of cultural differences, from too-short beds and roommates intent on glimpsing a white man naked, to the need for cloak-and-dagger efforts to conceal his relationships with Chinese women. Amidst all that, he immersed himself in the remarkable lives of his classmates. Beginning with Pomfret's first day in China, Chinese Lessons takes us down the often torturous paths that brought together the Nanjing University History Class of 1982: Old Wu's father was killed during the Cultural Revolution for the crime of being an intellectual; Book Idiot Zhou labored in the fields for years rather than agree to a Party-arranged marriage; and Little Guan was forced to publicly denounce and humiliate her father. As Pomfret follows his classmates from childhood to adulthood, he examines the effect of China's transition from near-feudal communism to first-world capitalism. The result is an illuminating report from present-day China, and a moving portrait of its extraordinary people.
