People Helping Others
You would NEVER see any of this in the Western press, but the Chinese tend to be very helpful and socially consciousness. If you know any Chinese personally, whether it is at your church, or in your school, you can attest that they work hard, study hard and tend to be great friends.

Here’s another from a different region.
And of course, the Han Chinese…

The Chinese Business KTV Experience
This is the real deal. Forget about all that nonsense that you find in the British tabloids and an occasional write up in the American liberal press. This is the reality. Read or not.

Contemporaneous Chinese Music
This is a series of posts that discuss contemporaneous popular music in China. It is a wide ranging and broad spectrum of travel, and at that, all that I am able to provide is the flimsiest of overviews. However, this series of posts should serve as a great starting place for investigation and enjoyment.
