The success of Helen Tse's bbc-themed novel Sweet Mandarin (currently sold in 33 countries) continues with an international schools tour. The ideas behind the tour such as teaching awareness of one's roots and "if I can do it so can you" certainly seem like positive messages to be taking to schools:
Well done, Helen!

I read Sweet Mandarin and could not put it down. I am really impressed that Helen Tse is promoting Chinese people and the culture to the next generation. Very impressive indeed and for anyone wanting to know about the BBC (British Born Chinese) Culture, read Helen's book - it made me laugh, cry and be thankful for my heritage. Gill Chan
