Chinese American Male

April 12, 2017 by N.M.Cheung 18 Comments

I am happy for her, yet it triggered reflections on my part on the Chinese male/female dynamic, male and female gender ratio imbalance in China, patriarchy and misogyny. I have 2 nieces, both vivacious and outgoing, having various American boyfriends since high school through college, and good careers … [Read more...] about Chinese American Male

Opioids

Upon reading the article, I decided to investigate further and searched Wikipedia. There are only short articles about him, but on the Chinese Wikipedia, it is more detailed. When I was a child in grade school, I was a … [Read more...] about 白卷英雄”与“亿万富翁”:谁才是真正的张铁生? Who’s the Real Zhang Tiesheng?
