Thank you for the review.

If you are curious about China or family, my book Marriage and Family in Modern China might be for you. The book features interviews with Chinese families so you can study the culture firsthand.

Family life in China is embedded in Chinese history.

Do you feel this is true about United States family life?

Ice cream was discovered in China 2,000 years ago.

Back then, they combined milk, a rice mixture and snow.
