"I successfully used this book while teaching conversation English in China two different summers. It created excellent class discussion. I select one character for the class to discuss, and to think of an example from their own lives."

BestLoved Chinese Proverbs 2nd Edition Theodora Lau Kenneth Lau Laura Lau Books Reviews

• I bought the hardcover edition of this book before, and feel fine about the contents. But this last order of the softcover, directly from , has been very disappointing. The print quality looks worse than most dot matrix printers could do. The ink color is not red, as "Look Inside" shows. I was going to give this book as a gift, but now it will just go in the recycle bin.
• Excellent book
• Since there are over a billion Chinese any book connected with their race must become a best loved edition. On the other hand with over a billion Chinese I would have expected something with more depth and more thought provoking. I suggest that these authors be awarded a year's free holiday at one of Mao's old re-education camps.
• I successfully used this book while teaching conversation English in China two different summers. It created excellent class discussion. I select one character for the class to discuss, and to think of an example from their own lives.
• Wonderful and in good shape.
• Received in good condition. Thank you!
• I bought this book after reading Elizabeth Wu's listmania..There are some deceptive chinese characters shown in the sample pages so I figured it would be in Chinese, maybe pinyin and the english translation !! Bad Mistake..!! If you are a reader on Chinese, its not fulfilling to read it only in English.
• I received this from someone very dear to me as "card" for Chinese New Year! I thought that was such a great idea as cards these days are quite expensive anyway so why not just spend that extra few dollars and give this instead. Its more worthwhile. I have just finished reading it and loved it. Some very inspirational sayings and some very funny ) Thoroughly enjoyed it.
