Features: During my days living in Nanjing, China, I eagerly read several new and vibrant small publications early on, as I was very interested in what was happening around me in revolutionary China. There was an English magazine called China Review Weekly. I read it cover to cover every week, where young Chinese intellectuals would openly share their thoughts and discuss their ideals. This book selects excellent essays by Lin Yutang, including "Reading and Reading," "Test Scores Are Not Reliable," "On the Beauty of Authenticity," "The Relationship with God," and "On Freedom of Speech."
