		<description><![CDATA[It's the old saying: "tragedy plus time equals comedy." It was ten years later. And it was hard to feel sorry for myself when so many good things came out of the sacrifice. For one, I was a stronger and more interesting person. For two, I won the Rhodes scholarship almost solely on the strength of the trip. (My grades weren't that great.) If I had written the book right after my return as I tried and failed to do, there probably would have been much more "feel sorry for me" to it. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/matt-polly-interview/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I saw a memoir "American Shaolin" by Matthew Polly, a young man who dropped out of Princeton to study Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple in China. I was stunned to learn the place was real and even more astonished that it still existed. At first I resisted reading the book, afraid the real world might ruin my fantasies. Finally curiosity won. I jumped in to "American Shaolin" and kept turning pages to the end. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/shaolin-kungfu-princeto/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ji Chaozuh's memoir offers a crash course in the history of modern China, provided through the eyes of a man who was in the thick of it. Ji was an English translator for the two main characters of Communist China, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Ji Chaozhu was present during some of the most powerful diplomatic exchanges in the twentieth century. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/review-memoir-mao-chaozuh/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, whenever I read a new expression or adage in a newspaper or book, I hand-copied it into a notebook and made my own customized lexicon. That was how I acquired a large Chinese vocabulary. It is kind of ironical that at mid-age I'm repeating the same painstaking process for English now. I envision doing this for the rest of my life. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/exclusive-interview-xujun-eberlein-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some writers, it takes a big leap to transcend experience-based stories. I think I am like that. In my collection, about half of the stories can be said to be based on my own experience. The other half came from attempts to transcend and broaden that experience. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/exclusive-interview-with-author-xujun-eberlein/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
