  8. Liu, who was born in Beijing and moved to Berlin at 13, took on the challenge for East meets West (Taschen), a pocket-sized book of pictographs showing how values (respect for elders, treatment of newcomers) and practices (fever remedies, popular pastimes) vary across 

  9.  "I was constantly comparing [the two cultures] during my entire time in Germany, and trying to understand the reasons behind [people's behavior.] It is probably my personal way to understand my surroundings. Liu spoke to CNN Style about design, misunderstandings, and the challenge of reducing complicated concepts into easy to understand images.

  10. It could be argued that, through oversimplification, your work could further project stereotypes. Stereotypes can be true or out of line, Since East meets West is a personal diary, I was very much focusing on my personal experiences rather than what is been seen as stereotypes. It is for us today very important to see more behind the actions being displayed. There are reasons behind all actions and behaviors and they are based on different reasons. I hope to help people to have more interest and [give them a] starting point to communicate.

  11. East meets West has been used for cross-cultural training programs. Yes, many intercultural trainers and language programs have included images of East meets West for their lessons or company trainings. I'm glad my book will help people get closer to another culture, and to be able to laugh about themselves, and that it could help them understand and be more tolerant of others.
