This English-language edition allows American readers to see their country through a Chinese lens. Since China reopened to the West in the late 1970s, several hundred thousand Chinese students and scholars have travelled abroad for advanced education, primarily to the United States. Based on interviews conducted while the author studied journalism and taught Chinese literature at the University of Michigan from 1989 to 1995, this volume tells the stories of students from a variety of backgrounds. After describing the history of Chinese students in America - from Yung Wing, who graduated from Yale in 1854, to the post-Cultural Revolution generation - Qian presents the experience of Chinese students today through anecdotes ranging from students' obsession with obtaining Green Cards and their struggles to support themselves, to their marital crises. 606 $aHojere uddannelser 606 $aStuderende 606 $aInternational uddannelse 606 $aUddannelse 606 $aKina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHojere uddannelser 615 0$aStuderende 615 0$aInternational uddannelse 615 0$aUddannelse 615 0$aKina 676 $a378.1/9829/951073 700 $aNing$b Qian$01534451 701 $aChu$b T.
