Introduction
This book is a collection of memoirs by a group of Canadian teachers or specialists in education to China. They are or used to be invited by Bond International College, or recommended by Canada China Education Council, to work at colleges and universities, schools, teacher training centers, or institutes of education sciences in China. Among them are both young people fresh with their teaching career and experts with many years of working experience in China. This book describes the lecturing, teaching, living and traveling experience of the Canadian teachers and scholars, and their contributions to the improvement
of Chinese education and their efforts to achieve a better understanding of China and of themselves. It also showcases the unprecedented achievements and the recent development in education that China has got since the reform, the proud civilization of a long, long history and the hospitality of the common people.
