About China
My husband, daughter, and I lived in China for over 8 years (2002-2010). We have now relocated to America.

Our years of flat traveler exchanges gave me this idea. I told my best friend Yang Ge about it, and she started selling these learning kits as a small business. Her son is a college student, studying history.

Hi Jimmie,
We were reading one of our magazines here and it said that in China instead of seeing the man in the moon, people see “the hare in the moon.” Is that true?
Do you know what I mean? I was just curious if that was true.
July 20th is the 40th anniversary of man’s first visit to the moon so I’m working on pulling our resources together. I thought that was an interesting little cultural tidbit.
Yes, I’ve heard that before. True.
It has to do with a myth/legend of Chang E, a goddess. You can read about it at Mid-Autumn Festival.
Dear Jimmie,
Firstly thank you so much for your helpful website.
My family and I are moving to china in about four weeks from now. We’ll stay in Nanjing in Jiangsu province. I am confident to homeschool and feel God prepared me, I am actually excited
could you please put me in touch with other Christian homeschool families either in Nanjing or anywhere in China? I would greatly appreciate your help.
Kind regards
Maryna
Maryna, I’d love to be in touch with you! We are moving to Nanjing on January 5th! Anne
