This unique book is the first to bring together a group of
influential China experts to reflect on their cultural and social
encounters while travelling and living in the People's Republic.
Filling an important gap, it allows scholars, journalists, and
businesspeople to reflect on their personal memories of China.
Private experiences-vivid and often entirely unanticipated-often
teach more about how a society actually works than a planned course
of study can. Such experiences can also expose the sometimes naive
misconceptions visitors often bring with them to China. China
experts relate stories that are always interesting but also more:
they tell not just anecdotes but telling anecdotes. Why are there
no campus maps? (Because, if you don't know where you're going and
why, you don't need to be here.) What's the allure of Mickey Mouse?
(He could break all sorts of rules and get away with it.) What's a
sworn brother in China? (Somebody who fights for your honor even
when you're not looking.) Covering nearly a half-century from 1971
to the present, these stories open a vivid window on a rapidly
evolving China and on the zigzag learning curve of the China
trippers themselves.
