Problem 1. One idea is...How do the three authors (Smith, Fei and Hsu) describe the principles that govern Chinese society and culture? What features are shared in common? How do they differ?
Problem 2. If you are familiar with Chinese society/culture today, do you agree/disagree with any of the points made by any of the three authors? (take your pick)
Problem 3. What biases are present in their respective work(s)?
Problem 4. Did anything surprise you about the content of their works?
