I have always loved learning languages and am always working on learning a new language.
In South of the Yangtze by Flora Qian, Qian as a young girl in living a unique and sheltered life in China, is learning about the world around her and finds it to be more disturbing than her naïve mind expected.
“..she decides to write and read in English as much as possible, and eventually leaves her home town. But what is the price to pay when she adopts a new language and a new way of thinking?
After the SARS epidemic in 2003, would her reunion with a psychologically troubled Chinese American friend bring Yinan real hope for love, understanding and peace? While this thoughtful novel is a meditation on both physical migration and migration between languages, it also provides a moving portrait of China’s only child generation.”
I love that language opened her life to a whole new world!
