Book ID/图书代码： 14933808B29989

English Summary/英文概要： Everyday life in China for a resident foreigner can be trying at times, but just as often it is surprisingly enriching. Everyday China focuses on the lighthearted and enlightening moments of living in a bustling, modernizing China filled with romantic legends and sometimes perplexing behavior. China is often viewed as a monolithic impenetrable culture, where the life of average people is overshadowed by the country’s vast history, but contemporary Chinese society is flourishing. Everyday China also includes numerous vignettes from the youth of China which describe their lives and ambitions. China is booming, and Everyday Life in China is the first book to humorously celebrate daily life while shedding some light on the deeper personal levels.

Everyday China will be between 250-300 pages and is divided into the following sections: Cultural Explorations; Food (Edible, Inedible and Other); Public Spaces; Getting Around; Health and Beauty; Shopping Tales and Retail; Celebrations; Miss Communications; and Potpourri. Each Section will include four to six articles. Each section includes short vignettes introducing the real life of China’s younger generations.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对一个旅居中国的外国居民而言，中国的生活有时显得有些繁琐，但生活中的精彩之处也常常让我们惊叹无比。本书着重描述了熙熙攘攘，飞速发展中的中国社会里那些令人愉快，引人深思的时光，在这个社会里处处充满了爱的浪漫史和令人迷惑的言行。中国的历史文化过于厚重和庞大，使平民的日常社会生活显得微不足道，但是当今中国社会正蒸蒸日上。书中还涵盖了许多描述有关中国年轻一代生活和理想的许多插曲。中国社会一天天欣欣向荣，本书是第一本既深入挖掘个人水准又以幽默诙谐的语言咏叹中国社会生活的一部作品。
