Features: This is a series of stories about Chinese people struggling in the United States, telling their emotions, families, and careers, as well as offering a glimpse into the culture, lives, and ways of thinking of Americans. Regardless of how humans are categorized, they ultimately divide into men and women. Whether it's the "Adam and Eve" in religious "creationism" or the "male and female apes" in scientific "evolution," both speak of the earliest ancestors of humans being divided into two sexes. What do men want? What are they doing? What do women want? What are they doing? What do men and women together want? What are they doing? This is where the essence of life truly lies. Without this "essence," all brilliance would fade, and humanity would have neither past nor present, nor future. The thirty short stories in this collection of documentary literature are carefully selected by the author from a large amount of "case material,". They offer a literary portrayal and description of various Sino-American romantic, love, and sexual relationships from different perspectives.
