Description
FOREIGN FRIEND: My Life With The Geniuses Who Made Modern China Peter Glassman's book is an unabashed love letter to the people of China, written from the perspective of someone with no political or ideological agenda. Peter first entered China as a professor of English in 1982. He made many friendships, journeyed to places rarely visited by foreign travelers, and gained insight into the hearts and minds of the working people and government leaders who created the economic miracle of today's China. Spanning the years 1982-1989 -- the tumultuous era between China's emergence from the Cultural Revolution and the tragedy in Tiananmen Square - this book pays homage to an era that no longer exists, yet is critical to understanding China's present day success. For 30 years Peter enjoyed unprecedented access to China's "common people" -- fishermen, farmers, factory workers, soldiers, police officers, cooks, students - as well as powerful leaders who courageously challenged their country's history and shaped its future. This book invites you to share his journey, and to enrich your understanding of China and her people.
