Enlarge my knowledge about Chinese Culture

The big earthquake came on 2008/5/12 in Sichuan Province in China, and there are more than 12 thousands people died, many houses and building fell down, many children become orphans, The rocks of the mountains coast to the road and block others to save the poeple, and now many are saved, but 10 thousand people are still below the houses and buildings. Many soldiers are sent to the area, and our Chinese People are donating money or things to help them.
Pray.

I bought this book from the library, and I decided to spend the whole month in reading it, maybe more time. This book tells me more things than I thought, and gives more deep impression of the old times.

It is not about the language itself, I live in China and speak Putonghua everymoment. Improving Chinese here means to enlarge my knowledge about Chinese culture and more poems, articles…
I felt from the deep heart that if one couldn’t know his own language very well, he couldn’t master any other foreign languages skillfully.
