Synopsis
Mr. China tells the rollicking story of a young man who goes to China with the misguided notion that he will help bring the Chinese into the modern world, only to be schooled by the most resourceful and creative operators he would ever meet. Part memoir, part parable, Mr. China is one man's coming-of-age story where he learns to respect and admire the nation he sought to conquer., An elegantly written cautionary tale about doing business in the free-for-all atmosphere of China in the 1980s, and a coming-of-age tale for both the author and his fellow westerners who foolishly dreamed of conquering the vast Chinese market.
