This is the third collection that follows two previously published books entitled, Living in China and Dreaming Big in China. Seventeen people have been interviewed and featured here because of their remarkable yuan or 'predestined relationship' with China, and each of them cherishes their yuan. In this book, they recount their stories with china and the Chinese people. These stories are the most direct and concrete explanations of the ancient phenomenon of yuan. Some have permanently remained in China, others have simply lived in China for many years and some for only a temporary amount of time. Regardless, their connections are deeply rooted to the Chinese people and they consider China their second homeland. Their unusual life experiences and thoughts give us a better understanding and feeling about yuan, and are deeply moving.
