enees in a Chinese school, complain that at the end of three years "we did not have a single Chinese friend." Teachers kept their "foreign influence" as far away from the Chinese students as they could. Not a single conver sation could go much beyond greetings.

This and other essays in the book provide eye-opening details about many aspects of contemporary Chinese life that are usually hidden from tourists and other outsiders.
