Lifestyle in China presents the largest country in the world not as a political and economic superpower but simply as a country, with a long, storied history and complex culture. More important than the China of today’s international news is its people: what does the everyday life of a Chinese family look like? This book explores the leisure activities and rich food culture of the Chinese that has continued throughout the ages since ancient China. Understanding China’s people and their lifestyle will ultimately help us understand China’s dynamic place in today’s world.
