Physical or verbal warfare can never rid us of racism; what we need is love and marriage, interracial: When people of different colors, cultures, and languages come together and treat each other's differences patiently, tolerantly, and understandingly, the differences bring forth a unique congruity. Of course, this journey is not full of flowers and smooth rides; it can have more obstacles than anybody imagines: not long ago, interracial relationships were still a forbidden topic. That is why many Eastern and Western readers eagerly wait for books to address possible related problems and provide solutions. Some of those people hope to find guidance and advice for their existing or future interracial relationships, some need case studies for sociological research, etc. Our anthology is an effort to satisfy exactly these needs. It includes twenty four stories encompassing all kinds of tears and laughter related to interracial relationships. Those who are looking for answers will have a knowing smile after finishing the book.
