如何面對中國人101題（簡體書）

該書由101個故事構成，每個故事都是作者、作者的家庭以及朋友親身經歷的事情。讀來讓人覺得詼諧幽默的同時也讓讀者明白在和中國人打交道的時候，什麼該做、什麼不可以做。有些故事介紹中國的禮節、傳授如何購物、如何討價還價等等；有些故事會指導讀者如何避免尷尬和難堪；還有些故事解釋了一些在外國人看來難以理解、甚至似乎讓人“討厭”的中國人的舉止。此外，作者會在每個故事後面加上評論，向讀者說明中國人為什麼會這麼做，以及在這種情況下外國人最明智的反應。

Afterword

Bryan and I used to work in Times Square in New York City.The crowd there is constant;you are always surrounded by people even at two o'clock in the morning.However,despite the crush of people,we rarely ever bumped into anybody physically (unless it was New Year's Eve when you are squeezed on all sides by people waiting to watch the ball drop).People in Times Square seem to have an uncanny ability to avoid touching others.They turn their shoulders,step sideways,or even duck to navigate a narrow space without coming into physical contact with other people.
In China,the experience is quite different.We live near Xujiahui in Shanghai.It is the equivalent of Times Square in New York where shoppers and tourists congregate in huge masses.During the weekends,there is literally a sea of people in Xujiahui.Unlike in New York City,people here don't seem to mind the body contact between strangers.
One weekend,Bryan and I went to Xujiahui for some electronics shopping.As we walked on the crowded streets,people kept bumping into the two of us.And when they did,they didn't say sorry or excuse me.They just kept on walking as if nothing had happened.Bryan and I were really annoyed by this behavior.The first couple of times it happened,we turned our bodies to make more room for people to pass.By the third time,we literally stopped,turned around,and said,"Hey,watch it!" When it happened a fourth time,Bryan decided to square his shoulders and stand firm so that people who tried to pass us by bumping into Bryan's side would get bounced back.People were clearly shocked by this action.They stared at Bryan,and their face said,"I can't believe you didn't yield when we tried to pass you!" Then we began to understand why.
