Hi everyone! I am a Mandarin teacher used to teach K-12 in the U.S. My parents moved from China to Korea around1940's. They both went through Korean War. My Dad and his family went through China's Cultural Revolution. I had the opportunity to listen to many stories that my parents had gone through. I was born in South Korea, stayed in Korea until high school in Korea's Chinese Overseas School, immigrated to the U.S. with my family, lived in the U.S. for over 30 years, and now moved to Taiwan. I am gratful for USC's U.S._China Institute programs. While I was in the U.S. I attended the "Asia in My Classroom" program. Because of this program's inspiration, I had been using one film per year for each Mandarin level, and incoporated many lessons that I learned there into my Mandarin lessons. I am looking forward to learning about contemporary China with you.
