Mitch Moxley came to Beijing in the spring of 2007 to take a job as
a writer and editor for China Daily, the country's only
English-language national newspaper. The Chinese economy was
booming, the Olympics were on the horizon, and Beijing was being
transformed into a world-class city overnight. Moxley planned to
stay through the Olympics and then head back to Canada. That was
five years ago. In that time Moxley has fed a goat to a tiger,
watched a bear ride a bicycle while wearing lingerie (he has
witnesses), and has eaten scorpions and silkworms. He also appeared
as one of Cosmopolitan's 100 most eligible bachelors in China,
acted in a state-funded Chinese movie, and was paid to pose as a
fake businessman. These experiences, and many more, are chronicled
in Apologies to My Censor, the comic adventures and misadventures
of Moxley's time in China and his transformation into his alter
ego-Mi Gao, or Tall Rice. The book spans the five years that Moxley
has lived in China; five years that coincide with China's arrival
on the world stage and its emergence as a global superpower. A
funny and honest look at expat life, and the ways in which a
country can touch and transform you.
