The Great Chinese Language

Have been reading "Postcolonial Affairs of Food and The Heart" written by Leung Ping-Kwan.
Well, it's a chinese book.

Great book.

so great that while reading it i feel like a Chinese illiterate.

after entering the english department i thought i had discovered the new world of english

the immensity of literature has made me wow a lot

and i thought what if i had taken english literature in high school?

and since it was not open, what if i had taken chinese literature back then?

would i have done well?

but friends havetold me that chinese lit is all about memorisation.

so, probably no?

anyway

reading this book is an even more intriguing experience

the context im more familiar with

the settings, the characters are right here in my city

cant help regarding these people as real characters

cant help regarding their experiences as real incidents

cant help fantasizing myself taking part in their fascinating life experiences

the words are difficult to understand, however

i still understand the sentence the atmosphere the mood

explication without literal understanding

and it's only possible when its chinese, not english

well. let me reproduce a section here and youll see how great this book is:
