Opis

The Beijing Family is a hilarious and entertainingly funny comedy series about the personal life of a wealthy Chinese billionaire and his family. In this first book, the humble self-made manufacturing billionaire Simon Wang moves his family from Beijing to Beverly Hills so his teenage son can obtain an American college education. Raised in a one child policy generation, the priviledged son is shy and talented in martial arts. Simon's mother is a relic from the Cultural Revolution that practices traditional Chinese medicine in their gourmet kitchen. She constantly fears the next Red Army soldier invasion and iminent famine. Arriving later, his niece is a young beauty queen from Beijing whose best friend is a Bernese Mountain Dog that is better fed and groomed than all the migrant workers in China. Together, they settle in their new home in Beverly Hills. With strong roots to China transitioning into Beverly Hills modern luxury, their cultural adjustments are fun and comedic. Mired in old China, the grandmother is undoubtedly unsophisticated but surprises her newfound friends in Beverly Hills at the end in this first book. This is surely not to be missed
