Lovely event. But let's remember that every celebration of non-Western, non-American cultures weakens our national sense of self. We come from Athens and Jerusalem. We are an offshoot of a Protestant ethic.

The Sino-culture has good features. It is not inherently anti-Western. But China is a nationalist group-oriented nation without freedom of speech or democracy. That is Confucian. It does not meld well with Luther and Protestantism.

Multiculturalism radically underestimates the import of culture. It makes it seem that all cultures are the same. It seem that our nation is just another and not special. It treats Somalian warlords as great as Thomas Edison.

We need to tone down multiculturalism and get back to our culturist roots. Culturism is much healthier than multiculturalism. That is why China uses it!!

Fabulous post. I love the pictures; there's something about seeing people from different generations with a book in their hands... :)

A great display! Sounds like the North Country School is a great place for children to learn and experience the unique aspects of life.

What a great trip this must have been for you and Jacob. I took Gregory back to Korea last year and, like you, was amazed at the changes that have taken place in uch a short period of time.

How exciting that you now have this connection helping Korean children to learn English.

Thanks, Ann! I'm glad you had a good time--we were lucky to have you here!

Here's what I have to add:
Ann’s program (a reading of Adventures of the Treasure Fleet followed by a book signing) was a wonderful addition to a weekend full of events highlighting Ming-Era China and Chinese culture in general. Her storytelling technique kept children and parents alike rapt with attention, and the book is absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend highly enough a presentation by this talented author and storyteller.

We were lucky enough to have Ann visit our school during Read Across America month. Wow, was she fantastic. She did not just get up and read her book as most authors do. She engaged the audience, had 2 staff members read the part of the Emperor and Admiral and had several students play instruments during the reading! I am the Parent Coordinator @ Cordova Meadows Elementary School in Rancho Cordova, CA and I would recommend everyone book Ann's assembly!
