Along with world development and deepening globalization, exchanges between nations have become increasingly close and frequent; however, differences between East and West have become more prominent. Having lived in Germany for more than 20 years, I deeply realize the differences in culture and living habits have led to conflicts, misunderstandings and prejudices, and even incompatibility, thus affecting work and life.

Different from that book, First Visit to China emphasizes the particularities of China and the Chinese nation through the experiences and feelings of Hans as a German exchange student to Shanghai. It contains more than 70 questions raised by Hans according to what he experienced, saw and heard in China, such as: How many Chinese characters are there? What's the staple food of the Chinese? Why are red dates and peanuts placed on the wedding bed? Are there still yin and yang in the world? What are the Three Character Primer, The Book of Family Names, and the Thousand Character Classic? What is the magic weapon of Chinese households? This book aims to help readers understand China's culture, landscapes, life, customs and other characteristics from different aspects. Western readers of First Visit to China will hopefully gain a preliminary understanding of China's long history, fantastic characte
