Little Emperors ; A Year with the Future of China - JoAnn Dionne
- In english. First published in 2008 (e-book).
When JoAnn Dionne arrived in Guangzho, she came prepared to live and teach elementary school in a Communist country. Instead she found the world's oldest country, throwing itself headlong into the future. And then she met the people who would live in that future - her students. Dionne provides a funny, often poignant glimpse of a nation undergoing rapid transformation.
-> Easy to read to book, about China seen from a teacher's side. Nothing quite new or interesting indeed. Mislead by the title, I was.
