A good beginner overview of broad and complex elements of Chinese culture. I wish there was an expanded version that dove deeper into each of these categories.

An easy to understand and insightful look into Chinese culture. It goes beyond the basics of what you would learn from living in the country.

It was my first course on Coursera. Only 4 stars because it was very short and light. Thank you for creating the opportunity to learn. Yuliya.
