Love Life When You Do Not Have Money
Here is the video made to promote the book Broke is Beautiful in China where it is called "Love Life When You Do Not Have Money."
Seeing as how the author does not speak Chinese, they went and interviewed young Chinese people who, I'm told, are speaking about their favorite things to do when they do not have money.
Of the book the Chinese publicist said, "When I read your book, acctually it helps to enlarge my limit to embrace the poor. Why not? It is the words I aksed myself when I read. I found this limit is actually set by our own heart or mind. So we love this 'broke' and still with confidence and happiness, it is really needed not only in U.S. but also in China."

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteWow, it must be exciting to have your book commented on in China!
It was a pleasure to meet you in Grand Rapids a few weeks ago. I enjoyed learning about what inspired you to write "Angel".

It was great to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am quite interested that it has been published in China. It seems so specific to
American culture to me and I wish I could read the translation. It always interests me when one of my books is purchased for a foreign market, especially in Asia. My book on the weather was published in a bunch of Asian countries, and that surprised me too because it seemed like it was so focused on Western history.
If you're interested, on Monday night I'm doing an on-line book club discussion in a chat room on the site Author's Info. Should be interesting.
