Between Chinese and Western Culture…

Meal Times

My Facebook Friend Wu Ya Xian posted these images on her profile page. With most pictures being worth a thousand words, these are far more weighty.

the origial post was copied from here: YANG LIU
and were part of a 2007 art exhibition in Germany by Yang Liu, a Chinese woman, educated in Germany. The originals were meant to reflect differences in those two cultures, but obviously hold up pretty well in a US-Sino comparison…

I think these are perfect for a contest culminating in a book that can be used in Language and Culture classes.
