Chinese Voices Project

The Chinese Voices Project is an ever-expanding free collection of short, accessible mini- essays on current topics having to do with life in today's China. Each brief essay is accompanied by an English introduction and an MP3 audio recording, so students can listen along as they practice reading the text.

Recent additions to the collection (which already features over 80 essays) include short pieces on these current topics: the recent snow storms in China and their effects on daily life, a review of the popular new Ang Lee movie "Lust, Caution," Valentine's Day and its traditional equivalents in China and Japan, a description of the Chinese New Year television performance show (Xinnian Wanhui).

The Chinese Voices Project can be accessed at http://www.clavisinica.com/voices.html.
