　　One possible version：

　　Hi, Jim, here is a gift for you．It is a folding fan, or “shanzi” in Chinese．The most interesting thing about a fan is that its name “shanzi” is a pun word．It shares the same pronunciation as the Chinese character “shan”, though in fact, they are two different characters．In Chinese the character “shan” means “kindness”, one of the virtues valued in Chinese culture．Perhaps, it is for this simple reason that, over hundreds of years, “shanzi” has been used as ideal gifts to friends or as decorations for rooms．Besides, poems, calligraphy, or paintings on fans make them more meaningful．The fan symbolizes the fine and special craftsmanship of the traditional Chinese culture．You have seen a lot of China these days, so I hope this fan will give you another insight into the Chinese culture and tradition．
