About the Book

Originally published in 2008. This updated version is the story of an American man who arrived in Beijing in 2006 with little money, no friends, no job, and little knowledge of the language or culture. Within a year, he knew the language, had a fulfilling social life, wide connections and many interesting jobs. This book follows the author's incredible journey through modern China. He goes into detail about living in China -- the pros and cons. He talks about the incredibly low cost of living that he had living in China. He also tells about the way new Chinese friends welcomed him, stories about dating in China, and why Chinese cuisine is healthier than American food. The most interesting and at times hilarious part of this book though, is the description of the many types of job opportunities that he has experienced in the Middle Kingdom. He works as a pastor at a Chinese wedding, becomes a foreign modeling and acting agent, and works on numerous TV commercials, shows, infomercials, exhibitions, and modeling shows. He works as an actor in an American movie with a well-known action star. He tells the story of how he one day, on a hunch, he strolled into the offices of a Beijing entertainment company, told them he wanted to work as an actor, and immediately became friends with the CEO, who offered him a part in a movie being filmed in Shanghai. David illustrates the many advantages to living in China. Whether it is to find more job opportunities, a good wife, lots of friends, a developing economy, a lower cost of living, or just more adventure, China is the place. Mr. Williams tells how he quickly integrated with the Chinese how he won a lot of friends fast, how he approaches every Chinese person he meets, and how he made friends with the right people. He tells how to become a "zhongguotong" (old China hand) and what it can mean for the successful career and social life of new foreigners living in China. He explains how he learned Chinese on his own in a year and a half, and how that propelled his success in winning over the Chinese people and finding many jobs. A very inspiring story about moving to China and finding a new life.
