The Baha'i Faith in China

Zhang Xin, the co-founder of SOHO China, has been using her talents and money to support a character's education program throughout hundreds of Chinese schools. Over 230 to be precise. In two years the Virtues in Us program has grown from 6,000 to over 65,000 student participants.

By the way, Zhang Xin is a Baha'i.

Overall I think spiritual education is a brilliant idea.

The founders of Virtues in Us (Karyn Robarts and Adam Robarts) are also Baha'is.

Hmm . . .

Adam Robarts must be a descendant of John Robarts, a Hand of the Cause of God.

Good. There are numerous ways to learn Chinese. Learning songs is one of them. The video above was just an example. Get a Chinese song stuck in your head. Memorize it. Haha.

I have a lot of resources.

Here is a Chinese language blog I frequently visit:

Teaching in China: A Guide for the Uninitiated | Sinosplice

Here is an online Chinese dictionary I frequently use:

Word dictionary - MDBG Chinese-English dictionary
