China has become one of the largest study and teach-abroad, travel,
and business destinations in the world. Yet few books offer a
diversity of perspectives and locales for Westerners considering
the leap. This unique collection of letters offers a rarely seen,
intimate, and refreshingly honest view of living and working in
China. Here, ordinary people recent college graduates, teachers,
professors, engineers, lawyers, computer whizzes, and parents
recount their experiences in venues ranging from classrooms to
marketplaces to holy mountains. The writers are genuine
participants in the daily life of their adopted country, and woven
throughout their correspondence is the compelling theme of
outsiders coping in a culture that is vastly foreign to them and
the underlying love-hate struggle it engenders. We follow their
initial highs; the shift to general discomfort and then to
full-blown culture shock; and slowly, the return of a sense of
balance, identity, and normalcy; and finally, the decision to
return home or stay. Written in a down-to-earth, personal, often
humorous, always authentic style, these tales of trials, successes,
and failures offer invaluable insight into a country that remains
endlessly fascinating.
