When Chinese journalist Liu Zongren came to the United States in the 1980's, he was struck with the challenges of being a foreigner in an unwelcoming land. His experiences, although unique and idiosyncratic, are universal to any immigrant moving to a new place. In Chicago, where he was on a scholarship studying English, Liu Zongren found that his life involved much more than just courses, classrooms and books. Landlords, evangelists, Chicago politics, street gangs, Christmas, Chinese-Americans, and American lifestyle and attitudes are all themes that he addresses in his poignant memoir. Liu's book is one of China Book's most popular and widely read titles. It is often used as a textbook in Cross-Cultural communications classes.
