That Is Chinese To Me!
The Chinese culture is often misunderstood by Americans. The phrase “That’s Chinese to me” is a minature version of the greater problem. When people say “That’s Greek to me” or “That’s Chinese to me”, they mean they can not understand it. Well, Americans have misunderstood the Chinese for a long time, and these days the problem persists.
A citizen of Montgomery County, PA is hoping to make a change. Lili Xiao, says:
“I have been working for the corporate business world for over twenty years helping them to succeed in China. Now I want to help our children to learn more about China not only because of China’s economic growth and the opportunities that will be presented to them, but also we know that they will be living and working in a more interdependent, more complex world. They need to learn more to be able to function, to compete in a global culture. Kids are our ultimate hope for the future. The camp I plan to run is to give kids in our area more exposure to Chinese language and culture. We will be learning by working on arts and crafts, computer and other projects instead of lecturing them.”
