The Beijing Olympic opening on last night was amazing. It represents the Chinese traditional culture, and also conveys the idea of one world. I am very proud to be a Chinese.
I also want to recommend a book : Sounds of the River, by Da chen.
It's a memoir of the writer, from his farm life to his student life in Beijing. The writer has good sense of humor, reading his life journey is full of excitement. Anyone who interested in recent Chinese history, might find this book lovely. Hope everyone has a great summer.

i read that book freshman year for college at new paltz. it was a great read and very insightful.
I am very interested in other cultures and languages and with all the olympic spirit China has become the new country to get to know. I have been following a T.V. series in PBS about life and culture in China. It shows a lot a things we don't usually get to see and gives a good insight on the life style of chinese people. It makes you think about things we give for granted.
here is the website and try to catch the show:
