hello mike, am so glad to see you on tube, I had a good impression of you and it was not in vain..Your book moved me to readmoreand learn much about this bueatiful country and people.. hope your next book also says much about the children that have been put in orphanages and so many to help here what can be done..Hope the hutongs could be kept and improved conditions
I read the book a few months ago and found it to be very moving and honest account of Mike's view of life in a Hutong and how that is important to preserving traditions. Those traditions however are under threat of extinction as China's obsession with "everything new" grows at an ever increasing pace. Also gives very good insights in to the Chinese culture. Respect to you Sir (Mike that is!); its a sterling job you have done.
by watching Paul Mertin in China, I know there is a person call Mike Meyer in China. I admire you. This video is super. I would like to meet Mike if there is a chance in Beijing. Mandy
my fav was after the British comedian said "the night is young" the old lady used Chinese and said "uagh, you're an old man already" , then she point to Mike and said "he should be married too" but the conversation was cutted off so it wasn't translated

Liked your book, I used it as a guide to Dashilan!
China/Beijing is definately misunderstood by a lot of the west. I think your book will help educate us.
WOW书都出了,AMAZON打折后卖17块多美圆
最讨厌英国式的刻薄,让人浑身不舒服。
希望Michael Meyer的关于北京的著作顺利出版,有人知道他的性取向吗?
