Good morning! I read something about my government, I am surprised It that I can’t believe it. I hope I can read more about my government from USA's view.  So can you asked your friend who study my government to give your suggest, then help me buy a or two book (English or Chinese are all OK) for me about my government to help me know clearly about my government? You bring it when you come China, I will give you money for pay for it when you come back China, I wouldn't don’t give you money. I know American people don’t like buy things for others but I cannot buy these book in China and I cannot go other country now. So can you help me buy it and take it to China when you come SIAS? If you can't or have difficult, it is OK.

When I come to China I will talk with you about what you have asked.  Please be careful.  I am copying Bridget Kelly the World Academy facilitator who is there now.  You may wish to speak with her.  I am not certain what you are referring to so I can't respond to your e-mail or find books because I am not certain what you are asking... however you sound concerned and I think Bridget would be a great person to talk with. Stay safe.

Thank you. Don't care of me. I wouldn't do anything, only to learning and to learn more about my government. I will send email to Bridget Kelly to learn more from her.

Mr. Wang is a hero who is a police leader in Chong Qing of China. But he want to America for get protect. I feel surprised. Then I started study that thing. I study different newspaper and different people's views. From this thing I get know my government limited many things. They are so corruption. And I learned many things are wrong. But it just little message from Chinese newspaper. I feel I am so stupid in the twenty life. I hope I can get more message from America book. And I want a clearly knowledge to help me understand what happened of my country. I hope I can get more message, then I can own critical thinks to help me grow up quickly in my mind.
