Whereas some have emphasized the value of adopting CL in China (e.g. Aibin, 2009; Lee Hui, 2009), others have noted the importance of Chinese traditional education (e.g. Harvey, 1985; Ting, 1987; Sampson, 1990).

Instead of asking myself which culture I should choose, I ask myself, who is the person inside of me, because that is who I…
