  china is undergoing a sweeping change? 5 years is equal to 10 years in US.....especially in love affairs, it seems they have lost the faithfulness that they have been holding......(You never know what's going on behind the door. They only way is to trust yourself and follow your heart.)Is it a really right time for them to reflect suppressed anger of poverty in the past? any other methods?

  P.s: i was bitterly thinking of you when i read the chapter 22......i also deeply understand different perception of class, money and love between Chinese and foreigners......Nice book with popular Chinese phrases....i learnt a lot......i somehow feel that a storm in my heart is about to explode.

  Is this helpful?
