I was reminded of that moment last month when I read Amy Chua’s Wall Street Journal article, “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior,” which sparked more than 4,000 comments on wsj.com and over 100,000 comments on Facebook. The article was a promotional piece for Chua’s book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which has become an instant bestseller.
这一幕在上月我读到蔡美儿（Amy Chua）在华尔街日报上发表的文章《中国妈妈为何更卓越》时又浮现在了脑海。这篇为她的新书《虎妈战歌》做宣传的文章一经发表就掀起了轩然大波，读者在华尔街日报网站上发表了4000多篇评论，Facebook上的回帖更是高达10万。而该书也立刻跻身于畅销书之列。
