When Russell Nash was asked to move out to China to commission a
mill in Shanghai, he had no idea that it would be the start of a
whole new life in the Orient. After having worked for more than
twenty years in the animal feed business and watching his children
grow up, Russell found himself in a dull life and a stagnant
marriage. It was time for a change and a business trip to China was
to be the catalyst for Russell's personal revolution. Despite the
noise, strange food and the lack of proper queuing etiquette,
Russell slowly fell under China's spell and before long found
himself returning to the great nation...for good! Entranced by the
women, of whom he has plenty of stories to tell, and mesmerised by
the unique culture, Russell's adventures abroad are certainly
exotic and a world apart from the safe predictable life he'd known
in Britain. Funny, cutting, vivid and often explicit, Yellow Fever
is the story of Russell's first three years in China and the women
who made him want to stay.
