Features: All 80 authors of this book are from the United States. A very small portion are native-born American Chinese, a small part are technical immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the majority are students who came from mainland China after the 1980s. Except for a few, they are basically not writers, nor are they part of the literary world. They are engineers, teachers, businesspeople, company employees, artists, workers, and housewives. Although writing is not their profession, it is also a way of life and expression for many. This book includes over 50 articles about conflicts and integration experienced in the United States, such as "The Mayor's Invitation," "The Sweet and Bitter of Political Participation," "Cultural 'Marginal People'," and "Silence Is Not Gold," showcasing new lifestyles in the United States.
