Good
Luck Life is the essential guide
for understanding, planning, and observing Chinese
celebrations and traditions in
a contemporary and easy way. If Good Luck
Life weren’t
a
book, it would be a group of cousins at a dim sum table sharing
old family secrets
on how to make Chinese New Year’s cookies,
what to buy a Chinese father-in-law on
his 80th birthday, and how
to assure a child’s success on the first day of school. |
Packed with practical information,
Good Luck Life contains a
wealth of historical facts,
legends, foods, old village
recipes,
and quick planning tools for celebrating Chinese
festivals
and life’s special milestones.
Written with
wit and warmth, and beautifully designed as
an accessible
cultural reference guide, Good
Luck Life includes
tips on dining with confidence at a traditional Chinese
table,
gift-giving Chinese-style, and "do and don’t” lists
from wizened
Auntie Lao who recounts ancient Chinese beliefs
and
superstitions. This is your map for celebrating a good
luck life. |
