I'm proud to be one of the contributing authors to this book. There are many wonderful China books out there focusing on a single protagonist's adjustment to life in the Middle Kingdom, but this one offers something different. Everyone's China experience is unique. Different personalities, schools and cities can pull expats in infinitely different directions after arrival. This book has pulled together letters from dozens of teachers who've made the trek - from families in cosmopolitan Hangzhou, to recent college grads in the backwaters of Sichuan. It depicts the chaos, diversity and unexpectedness one experiences when touching down, yet it does so in a way that pulls together themes in a very readable narrative. Nothing can fully prepare teachers about to take the plunge into Chinese classrooms, but this book brilliantly paints a picture about what one can expect, and what one might never imagine to expect, from their new China life.
This book is great if your heading to China or want to laugh and know others have felt the same way your have living abroad.
My family is planning to move to China in six months, and I would not consider stepping on the airplane without having read this book! It gives a very humorous, inspiring and sometimes moving description of what it is like to set foot in another culture. The authors have effectively pulled together a wide range of perspectives and with each one it is possible to come closer to an understanding that a lack of control in a country like China is part of the adventure. While the book is particularly useful for those who have lived, or will live in China, it is such a good read that it would be just as useful for anyone planning to travel anywhere outside their comfort zone, whether across the world or across state lines.
As a teacher in a small college in China, I naturally loved "Dear Alice", Renouf's first collectionof letters from the cohort of Americans, all ages and backgrounds, that she had over the years placed as teachersin colleges all over China. It captured their fascinating adjustments, growth and excitement but also annoyance and frustrationfrustration in coping with different customs and living conditions and expectations. They wrote of theirfeelings of triumph when even small challenges were conquered,of their slow adaptations to overcomethe worst of their culture shock. Friendships,growing cultural awareness, new competences led most of them to beprofoundly grateful for the experience. While China was reflected in their eyes, their letters told us more aboutthemselves."Yin-Yang" is about a very different China, confronted by a different collection of Americans, nowmore aware,as we all are, of China, its old culture and its new Westernization and importance in the world. Someaspects of life are easier-- McD, KFC, Pizza Hut abound in most cities. German, French and Chinese big box stores join Sam's Club and Walmart, making even cheese and potato chips easy to find. But differences in habits, attitudes,expectations, ways of carrying on daily life and work are still very different, culture shock is still there. Butour new awarenesses make this group acute observers, able to inquire and understand more of what they see andencounter.They give us a rich and fascinating picture of many facets of daily life in China, its anxieties andaspirations, fun and humor, worries and joys. They depict China today from the eyes of varied but intentAmericans. "Yin-Yang" is easy fast reading that gives a more personal, daily-life level view of China from an American perspective.
As a former teacher in China and a current professor of Chinese history, I appreciate the value of this book on multiple levels: as a vivid and fascinating lens onto adventurous Americans' cultural encounters with the Chinese; as a riveting and practical guide to the challenges of teaching and travel in China; and as an authentic on-the-ground account of contemporary Chinese culture and society in all of its dizzying dynamism and change.From the get-go, the book plunges the reader with fresh immediacy into the overwhelming sensory experience of this American cohort's initial immersion into Chinese city life. Many of the letters describe with fresh intensity the sights, sounds, and smells on the streets that at once disorient, confuse, and entice. Recalling my own experiences, I can relate to the extreme swings between euphoria and bewilderment that accompany this early phase.The book then leads the reader through deepening levels of interaction with Chinese society, first in the classroom setting, and then in the widening network of relationships into which the teachers become involved. They learn to unlearn many American assumptions about Chinese students while grappling with confusing differences in the definition of learning and knowledge; they learn to navigate a complex set of institutional and cultural norms and practices that require patience, flexibility, and determination; and they learn to be at once critical and embracing of Chinese values through the forging of new friendships.The book also has rich and informative sections on travels to more remote areas of china, the triumphs and travails of family arrangements in China, and teachers' later reflections on the long-term impact of this experience on their personal and career development.This book is highly readable and engaging, and chances are that reading this book may be the beginning of a transformative journey for the reader as well.
