Knopf Place of Publication New York Date Published 1988 Keywords China, Asia, Children, Social Conditions, Family. Judging from these group interviews conducted by the author in 1979 and 1984, children in the People's Republic of China exhibit buoyant spirits, stubbornness, a penchant for pranks, curiositymuch like kids everywhere. The young interviewees also seem articulate, disciplined, sensitive and take learning very seriously. Ann-ping Chin, a Chinese-American who teaches religion at Wesleyan, frames the interview transcripts with an introductory essay discussing Confucian concepts of family, duty and self, and in a closing chapter profiles her subjects, who range in age from seven to late teens.
