About the Book

Since China opened its door to the world, thousands of Chinese people have come to settle in the United States every year for various reasons. With their dreams in mind, they demonstrate the resilience of life with their unusual-and-colorful experiences in this magical land of America. In the form of short stories, the author of "Dislocation" presents their experiences in a delicate and affectionate light and honestly explores the meaning of life with language that will resonate in your heart and soul.In this short story collection, you'll encounter many of the new generations of Chinese immigrants whose daily struggles are complicated by the sometimes bewildering clash between Chinese and Western cultures.A same-sex couple facing inevitable family discontentment at their wedding ("The Knot"); a middle-aged professional desperately waiting for a liver transplant ("A Blizzard"); a greedy Chinese pensioner taking advantage of government handouts ("National Welfare"); a mother reflecting on changes in Chinese society when her spoiled teenage niece goes missing ("A Little Devil"); an Airbnb hostess too busy to leave any breathing space for herself ("One-Night Stay"); and a depressed elderly man in China and his son in America for whom misunderstandings overshadow the love and affection beneath the surface ("The Absence").Learn about many facets of Chinese-American life and improve your Chinese or English effortlessly along the way.
About the Author: A native of Hefei, China, Lynn (Liqing) Zheng worked as an architectural designer after college and came to the United States with her husband in 1988. Over the past thirty years, she's performed a wide variety of jobs, working in Chinese restaurants, factories, an architecture firm, a school, and a high-tech company. Her diverse experiences have brought Lynn into contact with individuals from all walks of life in the United States, especially those in the Chinese community, and to experience their triumphs, struggles, and agonies at close quarters. Her writings are focused on depicting and revealing the world as she perceives it. This book, her first collection of short stories, is based on her thirty years of life in the United States. Lynn lives with her husband, Alex (Xucheng) Wang, in San Diego, California.
