我不见外——老潘的中国来信
作者: William
出版社:外文出版社 2018年12月
简介:
All generalizations about China are false--including this one. This book is about how I started out for Australia but ended up on a 3-decade adventure in China. We've witnessed unprecedented changes in China. In some small ways, we've even participated in these changes.
