Profile:
Danny is a college freshman in a Washington State Jesuit business college. He is good at math and majoring in finance.

His English is okay, but he is getting tutoring. He does not go to church, because he finds all the different churches confusing. In China there are only a few Christian churches. He was a member of a house church, but his parents would not dare to join as party members,
For Danny, country comes first and family second. He sees his duty in life to fulfill the needs of his country and make his family proud. He wants to become well educated in finance to help his country. Danny likes the idea of entrepreneurship. He said that China really promoted individual development and innovation at the Shanghai World Expo.
As a child he was taught to be a good student, as this was being a good citizen and make the family proud. Chinese culture is divided along educational grounds. People who go to university get all the best jobs and those who do not do service work, join the military or make their own business.
All citizens of the PRC learn Mandarin. In Hong Kong they speak Cantonese and in Taiwan a Taiwanese dialect. There are 56 ethnic groups in the PRC. They eat different food, dress differently, have different traditions, music, dances and may even speak differently, though the writing is mostly the same all over China. People in northern China prefer noodles to rice, but in cities they have a variety. Danny prefers spicy Sichuan food.

Weblogs and Their Influence Weblogs have developed from a personal hobby and an Internet specialist niche to an important contemporary mainstream communications phenomenon. Weblogs or blogs have entered into almost every sphere of communications and knowledge sourcing. While blogging is relatively easy to explain in terms of the mechanics of its functioning, it is much more difficult to understand in terms of the implications and potential for development; particularly with regard
real problems faced by real people in the world, it might seem foolish to analyze a fictitious character. But sometimes it is easier to understand human nature when we look to art or fiction, in part because art provides us with some needed distance at times and in part because fictitious characters are often relatively pure distillations of character types. This is the case with the character of Grace
