My first sourse

Howe, C. (Ed.)., Kueh, Y. , & Ash, R. (2003). China's Economic Reform: A Study with Documents. London: RoutledgeCurzon.

I found this useful book in the library's web. I use all the ways that Mr. John Hickok told us that day to find a great source but all the articles on the website are not what I want. The book's author are Christopher Howe ; Y Y Kueh and Robert F Ash. The title of this book is "China's economic reform", as same as my research paper. On the library's web page, I also could find the partial review from google. This book has 7 chapters and every chapter talks about the historical overview first and then tells readers different ways of econmoic reform in China, such as industry, agriculture and technology upgrading. It collected many analysis of original policy documents. China's economic reform was published in 1976 and this book was publised in 2003. Therefore, this book talks more about the begining of China's economic reform, and that's the most important part which I want to research about. When I read the preview of the book, I'm interested in the abundant content. All in all, as a good resource this book could helps me a lot in my research paper.


I read Bomi and Michelle's

Research Question

I keep thinking about my research topic these days, and It is hard to choose. I want to choose something relating with my major so that my reseach could help my study. Therefore, I prefer to write about "the reform and opening-up policy in China". Everyone knows that China is developing fast, but people barely know what kind of policy we ever had in the past. Thus, I think this topic is very useful, and it can help me learn more about my hometowm. My research questions is:

1. What kind of policy do China use for helping developing in the past?
2. what is the different between the comments from China and from other countries?
3. What changes do China have after the reform and opening-up policy?

An advice I was given recently

There are many advices I was ever given by friends and parents. I like hearing people's advice because sometimes I can't have a clear mind when I'm in a bad situation. Recently my parents keep telling to practice driving which makes me feel stress.

I actually got the driver's license last year. However, diving makes me feel nervous all the time so I baraly drive by myself. I need someone seat next to me and tell me the other cars' situations around me. My father knows me very well and he doesn't want me to feel fear. These days he kept calling me and telling me every driving experience he ever had. I can't say anything but listen. After my father finishes talking, my mom always answers the phone and keeps chattering. Their main idea are that I can't improve my level of driving until I keep practicing driving. Of course I know all the advice they gave are good for me, so these days I try to drive on the road on purpose for practising.

This story is not about the best advice I was ever given because I have recived so many good advice in my life and I can't tell which one is the best. Furthermore, althought I don't like hearing parents' chattering, I still do what they want me to do because I know they want my life to be better.
