China Expat Book Launched!

Free download as 10th anniversary gift to China expats home and abroad

We at China Expat can have a rare moment of satisfaction guaranteed and can put our feet up on the desk, light a cigar and feel self-satisfied and content – for we’ve just produced our first book. Compiled from the pages of China Expat magazine and our online blog from the past 10 years of writing, “China Expat – A Decade Of Writing” includes text from four of our resident expatriate writers during that time.

With subjects as diverse as interviewing one of the last surviving U.S. Air Force pilots who was based in Lijiang in WWII, trekking from Lhasa to Everest’s base camp, the story of what became of the Chinese Ostrich, an article on why all expats are crazy, how to impress with instant Mandarin, interpreting Mao’s poetry as classic rock lyrics, and one on the Tibetan Kama Sutra of Tantric Sex, we have left no stone unturned in our quest to bring you the very best of what it means in be an expat immersed in Chinese culture.

As the official description says: “The contents within will provoke, provide food for thought, and raise a wry smile.” It covers 47 articles, some amazing full color photos, 232 pages and best of all – to celebrate our 10th anniversary – it’s free.

You even get the chance to tell us what you think in person – we’re hosting book launch events in Beijing and Shanghai. Please see below.

Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the book – we believe it’s the first compendium of articles print published by an expat blog in China. After 10 years, this is our gift to you.

Comments are welcome.

A Decade of Writing is an eclectic collection of China experiences and observations, contributed by four widely different expatriates from 2001 to 2011. Touching on every aspect of expat life in China, from surviving the deserts of West China to surviving a regular Chinese Wedding, China Expat- A Decade of Writing 2001-2011 aims to expose what it means to be a true expat in China – the ups, the downs, and the puzzling.

With Q Bar’s special summer punch, wine, and beer, only to be complemented by tasty canapés, we welcome everyone to join us! This event if free of charge, with many giveaways and the opportunity to mingle with local expats.

Expat life in China has changed drastically in the past 10 years. Things that we take for granted now were probably not available a couple years back. With such a fast-paced society, the lessons that China has taught us or will teach us are enormous.

The China Expat networking event is to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of China Expat and with it the launching of the book China Expat – A Decade of Writing: 2001-2011. We will enjoy a nice evening with expats who have been here for longer than we might think and share our experiences over a free flow of drinks and canapés at Park Tavern.

This event is free of charge with many giveaways and the opportunity to mingle with expats in China.

We welcome everyone to come. Priority will be given to people who register prior to the event so register now to guarantee a great evening. To RSVP, please email Azure at azure.cao@asiabriefingmedia.com with the following:
