About Me
- Teresa
- My name is Teresa Zimmerman-Liu. I was born and raised in a typical white family in the good old US of A. I love studying languages, and after graduating from Georgetown University I went to Taiwan to learn Chinese. There I married into a traditional Chinese family. From 1983 to 2013, I was a Chinese-English translator, ESL teacher, and facilitator of cross-cultural communication. I got an MA in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach in 2012 and began my doctoral studies in 2013. I graduated with a PhD in Sociology from UC San Diego in 2019. Now I am a lecturer in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach and in Sociology at National University.

Happy New Year from a Tiger.
Hi Barbara, Thanks for the New Year's Wishes. Gung xi fa cai!! (Luck and Prosperity to you)
My husband and I are oxen, so this is supposed to be our year.
Unfortunately, a Chinese news blog reported that the auguries are not too auspicious for the world in general this year. (Although that probably was not a terribly difficult fortunte to cast.)
Happy Chinese New Year, Leon.
Happy Chinese New Year! I love the graphic in this post. And...I have a daughter who was born in the year of the Golden Dragon. ;)
Hi Barrie, I have two dragon daughters, but I don't think they're golden. The third one is a snake. My in-laws are a dog and a pig. I'm probably one of the few Chinese daughters-in-law who can call her mother-in-law a pig and get away with it :)!!
Golden dragons are the most lucky, but dragons can be demanding and imperious. (Must be because they think they're royalty or something.)
May you have much peace and prosperity on the Year of the Ox.
