If you are really into it, you may know about Hootsuite, Google+ hangouts, Vine, face time, snap chat and more. Social media is an ever evolving opportunity to interact with people no matter your geography. When you engage in social media, you are essentially accepting that there are going be things about social media that you can't stand. Despite your desire to be accepting and allow others to fly their freak flags, you are going to be subjected to things you are annoyed by. The issue is, what do you do about it? How do you react when the people you engage with are doing things you can't stand? Do you unfriend them, call them out or make passive statements in veiled language that make people wonder if you are referring to them? What is a social media participant to do? There are things I do that I know bother some of my social media friends. I like hashtags.

Foey, of Red Bluff, will be presenting and signing the book at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 18 at Lyon Books, 135 Main St. in Chico. Gong Ree is a feisty 17-year-old in Nanking when she and her community are brutalized. Her defiance and her passion help her to survive and to make a new life for herself. The book's cover features a painting by the author of Gong Ree and her family's farm. The author will also be showing some of his artwork, and will be giving greeting-card reproductions of his paintings to attendees. Foey is of Chinese and American descent and his family has resided in Red Bluff since the 1850s when his family came to what they believed to be "Gold Mountain." Foey's grandmother was among the last to have her feet bound in what is now an illegal custom. Foey is a frequent speaker on the history of the Chinese in America, including interviews on TV and in periodicals. He holds multiple degrees in fine art and social studies. Foey taught high school art, and has won numerous awards for creative writing. He has had short stories published in the Chico News & Review, San Francisco Magazine, Watershed magazine, and the Trans-Pacific Periodical. He is a freelance artist and writer. Winter Melon has been chosen as Lyon Books' Lives of Asia Bookgroup selection for July. This event is free and open to the public. EVERGREEN STATE PRESCHOOL Enrolling Now for 2013-2014!
