Singing My China Stories to the World (English Edition‪)‬

This book tells about China through its American author’s 15-year-long experience of teaching, traveling, participating in cultural activities and telling his China stories in song, writing and speaking. Mark Levine came to China in his late 50’s and that is where this book begins. An active participant in cultural exchange on a personal as well as a group level, Mark has shown his love of life, embraced the new and the old and demonstrated a never-ending passion to both learn and teach. Through his stories, both prose and lyric, we can see China through his open mind, keen insight and constant yearning to learn about and join in China’s bright future. He and his friend, Fu Han, have built a Chinese-Western musical duo called “In Side Out” and set up a firm to contribute to cultural exchange and cooperation between China and the world.

Marco Polo of the New Era, in both Chinese and English, is a series consisting of six narrative books by foreign friends who have lived and worked in China all along time. By describing their experience in China and their cognition and feelings about China, the bilingual series promotes the exchanges, mutual learning between and coexistence of civilizations, drives mutual understanding, mutual respect and mutual trust between people from all countries, and shows the new inheritance of modern and contemporary Silk Road spirit.
