Published in 1980, China Men, has won many prizes for Maxine Kingston, including the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and also been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. This book is a"narrative genealogy"(Lee, 2003) of Chinese immigrants in the United Stated, depicting their real living experience from the Opium War to the end of Vietnam War. With the representation of the Oriental's life to incarnate their pursuit of American Dream, China Men is closely connected with Orientalism put forward by Edward Said. Therefore, from the perspective of Said's Orientalism, this paper tries to subvert the orientalism in American dream of the Chinese immigrants in the China Men.展开更多

The China Dream is a dream that calls on all Chinese people to be hard - working and aims at full development of the self and the nation. To realize the China Dream,hard work,development and environment protection are essential factors. Hemingway’s tough guys are famous for their dedication to work and strong willpower in overcoming difficulties and hardships. Some of their reflections are also pertaining to environmental issues. All of these are good references in realizing the China Dream. Thus,to re-read Hemingway’s stories about tough guys nowadays is important for Chinese reading public.展开更多

The essence of the construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" is to give equal considerations to both the East and the West, paying equal attentions to the North and the South, while balancing the land and the sea and connecting domestic with foreign. This is the innovation and priority of China's peripheral diplomacy as well as a strategic support and tactical guarantee of the "China Dream". The "Silk Road Economic Belt" is constructed to make history serve reality; it exchanges economy for politics, space on land for time at sea, and balances a weakness in sea power with superiority in land power. Instead of simply replicating the Silk Road, the "Silk Road Economic Belt" possesses a broader realm and a richer context. Moreover, this is China's ultimate strategy and profound tactical conception facing toward the future.展开更多

In 1992, he became Fujian Province’s first foreigner to receive permanent residence, and in 1993, was given China’s Friendship Award. In February 2019, after the publication of his new book Off the Wall – How We Fell for China, Bill received a kind reply from China’s President Xi Jinping in response to a letter he had sent to the president. After Bill’s trip around China in last August, we invited him to share his feelings and most impressive experiences about this trip.展开更多

It is about Chinese prosperity, collective effort, socialism and national glory. It is also about the welfare, wellbeing, and quality of life of every Chinese. Academics in higher education in China are facing changes both across the globe and in China, they must take the challenges. This paper does research on wellbeing of the academics from the aspects of the definition of wellbeing, the situation both in the world and in China, the Chinese concept of happiness, the possible influence of Confucius moral standards on wellbeing of Chinese. This paper may help school leaders implement policies that foster effective work environment in the new era in China.展开更多

At the beginning of the 21st century, both countries are at the crossroads of an epochal shift of world gravitas from the West to the East and from the advanced to the developing countries. China is set to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy probably within this decade. Under President XI Jinping, the country is pursuing a China Dream of renaissance in the coming years, harking back to China's glorious past. This resonates well with Turkey's ambition to achieve a similar goal by the hundredth anniversary of Ataturk in 2023. The horizon for cooperation is full of exciting possibilities, including high-speed rail from China's industrial seaboard passing through Turkey to the seaports in Western Europe; a customs-free expressway from the Western border of China through Kazakhstan and Belarus to Amsterdam; linking Bosphorus to China's world-leading container ports; investments in telecommunications and mining in the Central Asia region; partnership in a host of African "special economic zones" being managed by China; and capitalizing on the internationalization of the RMB, the Chinese yuan, to grow Istanbul to a world-class financial centre. In the light of these and other opportunities, there is no reason why areas of possible divergence between the two countries cannot be adequately managed. These include Turkey's cultural links with the Uyghur "separatists" in China's Xinjiang Province, membership of US- dominated North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and different approaches to international conflicts such as Syria. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), in which China is playing a leading part, may be a strategic theatre where Turkey-China cooperation may be enhanced and their differences minimized. In short, as the tide of history is rapidly turning, Turkey and China are likely to find themselves as serendipitous partners on a New Silk Road to Renaissance in the coming decades.展开更多
