Book Description
There are a total of 30 short stories in this collection, divided into three parts. The first part is named after my early award-winning novel, "Lao Han's Pizzeria." The stories in this part are generally about the lives of new and old Chinese immigrants and students in the United States, which may be joyful, sad, or satirical. The second part is basically the work I wrote after I became a lawyer, with the part title “Prison Visitation." The stories in this part are mainly based on the people and matters I have represented as a lawyer (of course, the names are all fictitious). These stories mainly write about some Chinese new immigrants’ struggles, legal troubles, confusion, and helplessness in the U.S. The third part is a group of mini fictions with my award-winning work "Age Issue" as the part title. The mini fictions in this part are mostly humorous or satirical descriptions of the life dilemmas of new and old Chinese immigrants in the new cultural environment. There are no heroes, no gladiators, no politicians, and no celebrities. What you will read here is about the people we meet, the things we witness, and the emotions we experience every day in this country as immigrants.

Become a better performance driver with Speed Secrets With the promise of autonomous vehicles in our near future, and current cars equipped with all sorts of mind-boggling driver aides, many feel that the art (and science) of performance driving has been lost - or will be. But no! For every device designed to take the act of driving out of our hands, the desire to actively participate in the control of a car becomes even stronger for driving enthusiasts. One only needs to look at the number of performance cars available today to see that the desire to truly drive is still in strong demand. In Speed Secrets: The Lost Art of Performance Driving, Ross Bentley explains in plain language how you can become an even better performance-oriented driver, whether it's to enjoy a twisty mountain highway, to take that secret back-road route to work, or to participate in a track day on a racing circuit. From how best to use your car's controls, to cornering, to dealing with adverse driving conditions, this book will make you a better performance driver. Along the way, you'll learn what ABS, traction and stability control, self-braking systems, and semi-automatic transmissions do and how best to incorporate them into your driving. Speed Secrets: The Lost Art of Performance Driving will help you understand your car well and be an even better, faster driver. Most importantly, it will fuel your passion for driving!
