4/30/04 Note: Hello Sinophiles! (Is there such a word?) I decided to create and maintain a page devoted to the Chinese Culture to expand understanding of a culture that has contributed much to civilization.
This page is dedicated to the memory of my father and mother, who tried so hard to instill in me, when I was young, an appreciation of the Chinese culture. Though it took awhile, they actually succeeded, in the long run...
The primary purpose of this page is educational. Feel free to submit suggestions for links. I will acknowledge your suggestions if I use them. Thanks for visiting!
