PREFACE
This book is a collection of articles on China’s history and culture. Some articles have appeared in Chinese American Forum, a quarterly magazine to promote understanding of China. Magazine articles were not planned for coherent and logical organization of subjects. More than half are new articles added in this book for more coverage in history and culture, by CAF writers as well as others. Some articles that appeared in Chinese American Forum magazine have been updated. Thanks to my daughter Helen Tsao for the design of the book cover. (See addendum for names of historical figures in the photos.)
