In recent years, Rogers has visited China to participate in various business activities and give lectures.

He and his family have traveled to many parts of the country.

"People in China are extremely motivated and driven, and I want to be in that type of an environment, so my daughters are motivated and driven too," says Rogers, who is also interested in Chinese history and culture.

Besides business activities, Rogers has authored several books over the past years, including best-selling A Bull in China and Hot Commodities.

In his book A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons for Life and Investing, Rogers shares a heartfelt guide for his daughters, including how to learn from his triumphs and mistakes.

The Chinese version was recently published by the Democracy and Construction Press, a Beijing-based publisher. In the form of family letters, Rogers' important advice to his daughters, including "trust your own judgment", "focus on what you like", "be persistent" and "see the world", are illustrated with his own experiences in the book.

In the area of finance, he says he has taught his children the importance of saving money since they were kids.

"The book is about an ordinary father giving advice to his daughters. But it also shares with everybody the investment wisdom and life inspirations of a legendary Wall Street investor, a Guinness record-holding explorer and a proven forecaster of trends," says Zhang Ni, a Beijing-based financial reporter and author of Seven Days' Conversation with Jim Rogers on How to Invest in China.

Zhang believes the book is a great gift for all those just starting to invest in their future.
