 I was smiling while I was reading an article in the newspaper with the title: Turkeys Spread Wings in China and a picture with the caption 'Mr. George W. Bush pardons "May", the 2007 National Thanksgiving Turkey'. I smiled especially at the news that eight turkey-based dishes, including gongbao turkey (diced turkey with peanuts and hot sauce), turkey-stuffed moon cakes and turkey soup with gingko nuts have been developed at the University of South Yangtze in Wuxi -- My 3rd hometown, by an American team and their Chinese partners there. :-) I would like to edit some sentences from the article for you in this column.:-)
I do hope that what I have done for you will be a little help to you in knowing more about Chinese culture and in learning Chinese. :-)
