Yisha
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Over all these years, Yisha has been telling her Canadian friends what’s new in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, while updating her friends in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan on news overseas. After reading an article written by Dr. Paul Evans, the current Interim Research Director of the Institute of Asian Research at the University of British Columbia, which suggested the Canadian and Chinese, need better mutual understanding, Yisha realized this is exactly what she has been developing since 2009.
The book is divided into nine chapters, with the second chapter listing the various dynasties in China’s 5,000-year history, and skillfully introduces the readers to interesting stories. The seventh chapter allows readers to appreciate Chinese values. In other chapters, Yisha carefully weaves a net that refers to Canadian culture and Canadian-Chinese cultural differences.
While Yisha was born in Shanghai but grew up in Taiwan, the third chapter introduces readers to differences in the dates of certain festivals in the two places.
Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Cantonese, and Taiwanese cuisines have been introduced in the fourth chapter.
For those who feel like crying when they remember what they went through in their lives, Yisha would love to share her experiences and guide them to choose hobbies to find happiness in their life. Therefore, they will be encouraged to think positive thoughts and enjoy the rest of their lives. In the fifth chapter, which provides readers with 34 kinds of hobbies, modern people need to foster a small hobby to cultivate lifelong benefits, and naturally relieve the tension of life in the future.
Keeping in mind the child’s pain and solution after parents divorcing, Yisha shares her own experiences with her readers.
To understand the power of Chinese cultural values of harmony, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, and longevity, in addition to being rich and famous. How do these relate when comparing to Canadian values of fairness, diversity, equality, inclusion, health, safety, economic security, freedom, peace, law and order, and sustainability. The Thirty-Six Stratagems are a powerful system for knowing how to “Be mindful of guarding against harm from others, and staying away from placing harm upon others.” The Thirty-Six Stratagems are used to protect yourself. One has to know what others are using, which stratagem; once encountered, be prepared to take the stratagem apart and then execute a clever response!
The concepts of political party, government, and trade are in one. Yisha believed that is why the biggest reason the policy of Great Northern Wilderness can be smoothly run; therefore, the Great Northern Warehouse is successful today!
