Features: Cai Chutian is a smart, easygoing, and very sunny boy. This book is his diary from his time as a high school exchange student in the United States. At the age of 16, he left his beloved alma mater—Beijing Renmin University High School—and departed from his dear parents, relatives, and friends. He came to the distant small town of Akron in the United States alone to start his studies and life there. He observes American society, family life, and education from the unique perspective of a middle school student, recording every detail of his daily life and learning. It is authentic yet filled with humor, rational yet not entirely free of immaturity. Reading it brings a sense of lightness, joy, and vitality. Cai Chutian is a smart, easygoing, and very sunny boy.
