 Preface to the Revised Edition

The first draft of A New China came out in 1997. The book was
fonnally published by Princeton University Press in 1999.
In the past ten not only has Chinese society a
period of enonnous change, but technology has also improved by leaps and
bounds. A New China has been revised in order to better reflect these changes.
In the process of creating this revised edition, we have tried our hardest to have
the text of contemporary China. We have also taken the
opportunity to correct a few errors.
For ease of use, we have combined the original edition's two volumes
into one. We have also placed a traditional version of each lesson
simplified version instead of having simplified and traditional versions of each
lesson on altemate pages.
Our colleagues Teng Kuan Ng, Noelle Lyle, and Cara Healey proofread
the English sections of this revised edition, and Princeton teachers Li Xu and
Jingjing Zhang reviewed the manuscript in its teachers
2009 and 2010 summer sessions of Princeton in Beijing and at Princeton
University during the 2009 and 2010 academic years all offered valuable
insights. We extend our sincere thanks to the above for their we
as authors take full responsibility for any errors remaining in the text.

 Preface

China has experienced rapid changes over the past two decades. The
Chinese Language Program at Princeton University is publishing A New China
to supplement previous textbooks and provide up-to-date material
changing face of China.

Like some earlier series, A New China is

the perspective of a foreign student who has just arrived in China. Its
predecessor A Trip to China reflects Chinese society in the early 1980s and
China to the Westem world. In A New China, we no longer
China to the West, but rather contemporary China to its pre-reform
When we compared China and the West, we found it inevitable that
China fell short in many respects. In our comparison between
and pre-reform China, however, we have found great improvements in Chinese
society in the recent decade. These improve:Q1ents have in fact narrowed the
gap between China and the westem world.

Nowadays in the field of Chinese language instruction in the U.S. , it

has become very popu1ar to publish textbooks in "business Chinese." We insist,
providing a solid foundation in grammar and pronunciation is
more essential than teaching vocabulary geared toward speci:fic usage.

As we have done in previous textbooks, we have made every inA

New China to fi l1 each lesson not on1y with mere description and dialogue, but
also with the authors' viewpoints. We will provoke discussion and
wil1 inspire students' interest in Chihese.

The A New China was written in the summer of 1997 and was
field- tested 1998 session of Princeton in Beijing summer intensive
language program. The book was wel1 received by students. As in previous
textbooks , we have included and simplified versions of the text.
For the first time , however, we have included vocabulary on the same page as
the text. This change should make the book more convenient for students. We
have also added several new exercises.

xv
 We would sincerely like Eagar, Kara Wortman,
Jennifer Hunt, and Robin Workman, who have taken pains to edit the English
glossary and grammar notes. Their efforts have greatly improved the English
portions of this book. Matthew also designed the cover which has significantly
enhanced the presentation text. We would also like to extend thanks to
our colleaIDles, Xia Chiang Mien-hwa, An Yanming, and Dai Xiaoxue,
who have made valuable final revision of the textbook. Any
errors are responsibility of the authors.

Everyone wants to enjoy the materia1 comforts of air-conditioning in hot
summer months, a quick car-ride to work, and convenient access to electricity
and telecommunications. However, these luxuries come at a price. They
pollute our environment, use up our resources, and contribute to the problem of
over-crowding. Do you everyone, or anyone, has the right to a life
filled with these luxuries? What kinds of responsibilities come

for an American to have these amenities but not a Chinese citizen? Howabout
a person of our generation versus our grandchildren or great-grandchildren?

1. The culture of minorities is absolutely not inferior to that of the Han people.
However, owing to a lack of written language, in addition to the
minorities are spread out in remote areas. Han people often have an
incorrect understanding ofthem.
2. China is a multi-racial country; however, the population of the minorities is
only about 5 percent of the total population of China while their residential
covers less than 50 percent of in China.
3. Owing to the difference in religious beliefs, there was no
between these two classes in the past. class is not separated
the other so strictly, the distance between them is decreasing, and
intennarriage has been more common.

VI. Composition
The Chinese government has actively pro-minority policies. For
example, minorities can. be schooled in their own language and culture in
minority schools, receive some leniency in tenns planning and
religious rights , and have special at national universities. However,
despite the active encouragement of minority cultural preservation,
several obstacles for minorities who desire to maintain their traditional
language and culture. Taking language as an example, a member of the
minority community can choose to attend school in hislher native language,
but doing so can, in some ways, hislher future opportunities. In a
China, where over 95% ofthe population speaks (or is expected to
speak) a common language, not can be an immense
obstacle. One way around this problem is to learn Mandarin as a second
language. However, most Han Chinese students spend their time studying
English as a second language in order to help them adapt to a more global
environment. For minority students who wish to seek out these global
opportunities and own language, the result must
become proficient in three languages. What measures might you suggest to aid
in the preservation of minority culture without compromising minorities'
opportunities to modemize?
