I Am Here*******

The writing is pretty good and allows people in China who have not been exposed to India to understand India to some extent. Although it is not comprehensive, it also reflects many aspects of India from the author's own perspective. But this is still India ten years ago. What is India like today? I hope there will be an update. Finally, the author also traveled to many places in India while teaching in India. It is a pity that there are no photos in the book.

The writing style of the whole text is plain but the true feelings are revealed. It is narrated in a plain style and presented page by page. At first I was attracted by the title of the book and just wanted to take a quick look at it. However, after reading the first few chapters, I was dumbfounded by the humor inadvertently revealed in the author's mature core. I was also deeply attracted to continue reading. In addition to the messiness that we are familiar with in India, the author focuses on describing the humanities that the author has come into contact with, the kind-hearted characters, the stories worth savoring, and through the contact with the Indian classes at different levels, it reveals a deeper side of the country beyond the human geography, allowing us to understand the India beyond human beings. I like Milan and Zuli the two young people the most. Milan's ambition to reform and build a better country, and Zuli's tenacity and self-empowerment deeply attract me. Ten years have passed. I wonder if their respective ideals and ambitions have been realized? I am very happy and honored to have the opportunity to read this book

This book is meaningfully written and reveals to us the mysterious India: India's unpunctuality, Indian highways, Indian trains, Indian racial discrimination, Indian food, Indian marriage, India's political system, the historical origins of India and Pakistan, India's tourist attractions, India's emphasis on science and technology, India's people's livelihood, the reasons for the divide between rich and poor in India, etc., Are all revealed to us one by one.

This book It's quite good. I feel like I have traveled around India mentally. I have learned a lot and seen many aspects of India's strange and ancient changes. There are some people who impressed me deeply in the whole book, such as Nitin, Rachel, Law, Milan, Li Zou, and Goya. They all have their own unique charm. Although Nitin has repeatedly missed the author's invitation to travel, he is very responsible and can really help if you have difficulties. Cheng and Rachel are more cheerful, lively and thoughtful Jews, while Law is a kind of traveler who is unconcerned with the world. Milan is very impressive to me. He is passionate and has a sense of responsibility for his family and country. It's really good. It's a family with doctors, enlightened parents, and a pleasant family atmosphere. It's very warm and we need to learn. Finally, there is Buddhist culture. I read some books and found that many of them end like this. I can't see clearly at the end. I feel that Buddhist culture is difficult to understand and I can't understand it hahaha. However, this book is still good overall. You can read it.

Carefully crafted. Time is a wonderful magician. Even as far away as India, it is inextricably linked to Chinese culture. In every corner of the world, everyone lives in a huge information gap. I would like to thank the author for showing me such a vivid and detailed description, so that people like me who have not been there in person can experience the time "in" India through words.

It is beautiful and fascinating, and allows us to understand India from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese who has penetrated deeply into India. From the in-depth contact with ordinary Indians, the author understands people's joys, anger, sorrows and joys, and understands the real Indian world from roaming in cities. The author is neither sad nor happy, objective and indifferent. The article inadvertently introduces us to the current situation of Indian society where old diseases and modern development coexist. The writing style is sharp and smooth. Let us look at India and ordinary Indians objectively, and compare China and India, two major developing countries. Thank you Zuozhi for letting us see a different India, thank you! In the book, we see the living conditions of some people with lower surnames. In an ordinary middle-class family, three children have obtained doctorates and been invited to work in the United States and Europe. The popularity of English in India, the reputation of world-famous universities, and the expansion of universities all over the world have shown us an India that is vigorously developing and actively pursuing advancement, unwilling to lag behind.

2020.07.05 "My 701 Days in India" I have been reading this book for the last month. I actually didn't plan to read it. After all, I don't really like India or am curious about it. But people are just so strange. When they encounter it more often, they can't help but open it and see what the content is in the book. I was a little surprised at first, because it was consistent with the information (stereotypes) I saw every day. I didn't expect it to be true! ! ! But the more you look at the middle and later stages, the more interesting it becomes. It contains the epitome of many people. There are different characters from high, middle, low and bottom interspersed in it to outline various images of India. Some are good, some are bad, and all kinds of "black humor" complaints are all images of India. Not far from the tall and tidy villas, there might be a slum. There are some shadows under the bright lights. Humans and animals coexist. It all seems very strange, but it happens that such a place exists. Sometimes there is no distinction between classes in the carnival of festivals. I think if this system did not exist, or if the rules were broken one day, maybe it would really get better and better...

With unique insights and sharp writing, he shows us a different India. A different experience, it broadens your horizons and sublimates your soul, good book

The author's attitude is objective, but he also maintains his own values, neither humble nor arrogant, and has Chinese tolerance. The description of India in the book also inspired me that travel should also include in-depth understanding and learning of different cultures. I feel like there is a lot of beauty in the world waiting for me to explore. But the only drawback is that the sublimation at the end of some chapters feels a bit too much.

From a Chinese perspective, I gained a comprehensive understanding of India and Indian youth thoughts from the aspects of history, politics, race, culture, natural scenery, etc. The author's writing language is witty, relaxed and natural.

After reading this book, I feel like I have seen and heard about India. It uses the author's personal experience to increase my knowledge. It restores local customs and people's sophistication more intuitively. However, the language and writing are flawed. It can be read as a travel experience. Thank you to the author for sharing.

The author tells what he sees and hears in India from the perspective of an outsider. The writing is very good and the end of each chapter is very thought-provoking, eliminating many stereotypes about India. India's hospitality is very simple, its religious culture is very strong, there are many races and languages, it is quite free and diverse, but it is also very feudal and has many constraints. All I can say is that this is a country that is both good and bad.

I really love reading travelogues, especially stories like these that make you feel the beauty from the journey and make you yearn for the distant places. And I'm also very curious about the country of India, but don't dare to go there. Recently, I've learned a lot from books and documentaries!

It records in detail and objectively what the author saw, heard and felt during his two years in India. It gives you a sense of seeing, watching and following the author all the way. It involves religion, economy, society, education, etc. The writing is wonderful, humorous and natural. Fascinating, inspiring, and so good that I can't stop reading.

This book is well written. Through the author's objective description of his experience working in India, it increases our understanding of India, a country with a solemn religious color and a sense of mystery. The author's writing is good, with a bit of humor, and is highly credible. It's worth reading.

It's beautiful. It showed me a microcosm of Indian society ten years ago, and helped me better understand how the country of India operates and what concepts the people have. The most profound sentence is: India is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

From the perspective of personal experience, the author takes us readers to appreciate the customs, different cultures, religious beliefs, customs, etc. Of India, which opened my eyes. The deepest feeling is that the same earth, different lives!

You can see a different India, follow the author as if you really go to India to experience it, understand it, and think about all things. It is sober and profound, but always conveys an open-minded, humorous and optimistic attitude. If you are passing the time leisurely, if you want to appreciate the Indian customs, if you want to relieve loneliness, anxiety and confusion... You can read it.

The author is objectively insightful and narrates various aspects of India with compassion. He has a broad vision and sees India from the Chinese perspective and China from the Indian perspective. Let us understand the more detailed and real India. There is filth and filth, there are shackles and injustices, but there is also kindness and innocence, all things have animism, and humanity pursues freedom and beauty.

Very interesting to know a different perspective of India Objective, straightforward

It is a very good book. The author tells us what he saw, heard and felt in India. It is very readable.

I suddenly discovered that the highest state of writing is truth. The best articles are the articles that express the experiences I saw and heard in the plainest language without too many descriptions.

Follow the author to explore India all the way, telling stories that are both realistic and freehand. The streets, trains, and slums of India are just like what you see in the news occasionally. The people you meet are sincere and enthusiastic, except for the bus that did not come late at night after you paid. I hope to get rid of the shackles of caste as soon as possible, and those who love each other can give each other marriage. I hope that all the children who are rented late at night can be well-educated and that the mentality of the doctor's family will spread throughout India.

The writing of this book is smooth, humorous and highly readable. You can feel the author's complicated psychology towards India, which is both disgusting and moved. India is like a moldy strawberry cake 🍰

The author's writing skills are extremely profound, and his ability to control words is extraordinary. Watching the article reveal the suffering people on the streets of India, the energetic youth, the rich and colorful history, and the cultural differences between various races, it is hard to stop and want to take a look...

It seems a bit stiff at first, but gradually it becomes more and more interesting. The writing is beautiful, the life in the foreign land, and the travel scenes are very interesting. It is a good eye-opener to see what India is like in the eyes of us Chinese.

Real, plain, even a little plain. Isn't life like this? It's very interesting [Learned]

I have never read a book about India. It is vivid, immersive, narrated and true.

Objective and true, the things described are delicate and rich, showing the life and helpless numbness of all walks of life of the Indian people from another perspective. Worth reading carefully.

The writing is beautiful, profound in meaning, plain and simple. The author's lofty sentiments are contained in the lines. It is an objective interpretation of the relationship between China and India. I like this book very much, but it is a pity that the author only has this one.
