The author - Inessa Pleskachevskaya - lived in China for twelve years, on the pages of this book she shares with the reader her experience of immersion in the real life of the Middle Kingdom.What is China? A language that has four tones, and depending on which one you pronounce, for example, the syllable "ma", it will have four meanings - from "mother" to "horse". "Honoring Parents" is the stone on which Chinese society has stood for more than two millennia. Without respect for parents, older family members, there would be no China, but in recent years this fundamental principle has cracked. What does this threaten and how does society react?Inessa analyzes all aspects of life in China - food, fashion, markets, goods and services, as well as features of education, a peculiar relationship between the sexes, the ability to respect superiors - everything that seems Europeans are unusual. We have different not only mentality, but even physiology (there is also a book about this). But, perhaps, having learned about the customs and views of the Chinese, you will not only be enriched with knowledge, but will be able to reconsider and rebuild your life. After all, the main thing that life in China taught the author of the book is to never give up and not be afraid of sharp turns, gave an understanding that happiness lives inside each of us.The publisher's layout has been saved in PDF A4 format. p>
