I am very grateful to many people in the United States and China for helping make this book possible. Of course I should thank my students for their contributions of images and ideas for this book. I call them Dragon Riders because they have the mission to understand the Great Dragon, China, and the Dragon Tongue, Mandarin, and they fly up and down, east and west. China is like an ancient dragon with the heavy load of the past welcoming the challenges of the present. Through the Riders' photos, vivid and colorful, and their journals, mostlypro found and occasionally naive. l remember the good times we spent to gether. l also thank the students who came to China with me on ten different programs but whose text and imagesare not included for technical reasons, not by choice or for lack of quality.
