“"A Concise Chinese English dictionary for lovers" is a story about love between two cultures.
A Chinese girl, "Z". She studied English in London and fell in love with an English man. Their love wasn't perfect and life was full of conflict. Misunderstanding constantly happen among languages, but the needs, the emptiness, all of these made their love more emotional and locked two of them even tighter.
Who says love has to be beautiful and pure?
I was a foreigner in a strange land. I have fallen in love with the white men. I have been there. When I read this book. I had to stop myself few times. The story struck me so hard. I could see myself hurting my love and he and I grew in pain.
At the end of the story, "Z" felt like she has left part of herself in London. Even through I am living in western land now. I still feel that I have left part of myself in the past with my love and the sadness is always in my heart.
I recommend this book to all the people who have been in an interracial relationship before. Maybe you will also find that missing piece of yourself from the book.”
