Analysis of Iron and Silk by Mark Salzman

Mark Salzman's "Iron and Silk" analysis was given to me by a close friend I know that I am interested in Asia. It was a true story and it was said that it was a good reading, so I chose to read it. The author went to China as an English teacher at Hunan Medical University. He stayed there for two years and gathered many anecdotes during the process. The author spent a lot of time learning Chinese and martial arts. However, when he arrives in China, he will meet a teacher who has worked to make perfect the particular arts and skills, whether it is a fighting spirit or calligraphy.

In Salzmann's book, he shows Chinese culture and his influence. Every other country can treat him equally. Please check whether it is the best or not. Everyone wants to look great. It is difficult to deal with the mistake. Mark Salzman's "Iron and Silk" shows these emotions from a variety of cultural standpoints. Everyone experienced shame. When I was young, I remembered being deceived. When I am an adult, I deny that there is a problem with my work and I am too concerned about losing my trust. In Mark Salzman's work "Iron and Silk" he showed the importance of Chinese culture and keeping his face in front of foreigners.

At the beginning of the book Salzman became a fixture in the American literary circle thanks to his first novel, "Iron and Silk", which won several important awards and influenced the movie. I adapted. But in 11 years after 1997, readers saw Salzmann struggling with the latest novel. The latest obstacle includes a small but important character named Carlos, a juvenile criminal living in a world far from Salzman. Therefore, the author can not write the voice of the character in a real way. Salzman's editor is also dissatisfied with this role. As his entire book may collapse due to a relatively small role, Salzman remembers his friend, Duan, very well knows when he talked about Los Angeles gang.
