You are cordially invited to a book talk on "One Couple Two Cultures: 81 Western-Chinese Couples Talk About Love and Marriage" organised by the University of Hong Kong Libraries Reading Club. The author Dr Dan Waters and co-speaker Mrs Vera Chan Waters will share their thoughts and personal experience with the audience. The details of the book talk are:

Date: 15 December 2005 (Thursday)
Time: 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm
Venue: Special Collections, 1/F, Main Library, the University of Hong Kong
Speaker: Dr Dan Waters
Co-speaker: Mrs Vera Chan Waters
Title of book: "One Couple Two Cultures: 81 Western-Chinese Couples Talk About Love and Marriage"
Medium: English

The book highlights information provided by eighty-one Western-Chinese couples whose views on codes of conduct and lifestyles vary considerably. Whilst some believe that a successful marriage can depend as much on smelly gorgonzola cheese or fermented Shanghainese bean curd as on the actual compatibility of the spouses themselves, others believe a Western-Chinese marriage is no different, say, to a blonde marrying a redhead. Still others hold the view that two sometimes antagonistic cultures are an added dimension to marriage.
