Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains 9 stories about bits and pieces of the lives of Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, two young adults who were classmates in their youth, but later in life accidentally met at the Dating Corner of People's Park and started dating. The stories involve the culture of dating in China, Chinese puns, touring an ancient park in a metropolitan city, adventures of real-world places in a dream, envisioning a virtual reality community, the scams and bargainings at off-the-street markets, and the myth of fortune-telling. The nine stories each are stand-alone stories with three chapters. Each story has some punch lines or funny points. These stories do not push very hard on forcing traditional Chinese culture knowledge such as zodiac or festivals that you can find easily online or likely have learned during your journey of learning Chinese. Instead, the stories are slices of day-to-day lives that are seen as mundane for Chinese people but might be surprising or absurd from the perspective of foreigners. The cultural intricacies are expressed in casual storytelling and show you how people in Chinese culture approach certain things differently. Each story comes in three sections. Within each section, there is the main story text, an annex with a cultural summary, a glossary with definitions, and fun multiple choice questions with answers to check comprehension. The book has plenty of spaces for you to mark on and take notes. Click into the sample to see a glimpse of the first part of the book and I'm sure you will like the nerdiness and dry humor the protagonists have. The story will progress from stories with simple vocabulary and plots to mind-opening virtual worlds.
