Features: Everyone who comes from the mainland to the United States feels hungry and lacks water. This "water" is culture. The original "water" has flowed away, and the new "water" has not been nourished. As someone said, when you are with Americans, you feel like a Chinese person, and when you are with Chinese people, you feel like an American. It's like floating duckweed, giving a sense of being rootless. The book's depiction of the beautiful natural landscapes of North America makes you feel as if you are there in person; its presentation of the ancient culture of North America is truly astonishing; and its vivid portrayal of the lives and struggles of Chinese people in North America is heart-stirring. The book nearly includes all the natural and cultural landscapes of North America that you can think of and those you cannot. It includes places that are often mentioned, such as the White House and the United Nations Building, as well as places whose names you can't even pronounce, like the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Chapultepec Forest Park. For those preparing to travel, work, or study in the United States, having a copy of this book is very necessary. Of course, North America is not just about scenery. In addition to the landscapes, the book also focuses on depicting the joys and sorrows of a few Chinese people struggling in the United States. The story of a Tianjin violinist who performs in the New York subway is even said to have directly inspired another novel, The Violin Sounds of the New York Subway. The author observes the living conditions of Chinese people in the United States from an objective and humanistic perspective. For those who dream of the golden opportunities in the United States, reading this book is also very necessary.
