My wife was a single Chinese mum and has a 12-year-old daughter. I've raised three daughters and my Chinese daughter will be the easiest and most difficult at the same time. Here's what attracted me to my Chinese wife: personal and family values. I discussed many things with her before we married and there was very little conflict in our cultures. When I met her daughter I had to win her over but in just eight days she had me wrapped around her little finger. I think one of the most important things in our marriage right now is that my wife is very happy that I accept her daughter as my own daughter. And my American daughters accept her as their own sister and my wife as their mother.

What surprised you the most in China?	Should Chinese care about "face"?	Laowai, is the term offensive?
