Reseña del libro "Five Years In China (en Inglés)"
China! The greatest economic success story in the history of humanity! How did China succeed in lifting more than a billion people out of abject poverty to now enjoy a comfortable, middle-class lifestyle? What impact has it had on the rest of the world? There have been many books written about China over the past several years, but a lot of them are authored by people who have never set foot in China or, if they have been there, have stayed in tourist hotels, maybe visited the Great Wall or studied the language for a few weeks, and then feel that they are an authority on the subject. Mike Schuss has spent the last five years teaching English in Guangxi (pronounced Gwong-She) Province in Southern China, has had countless conversations with friends and colleagues about the "real China," has travelled extensively throughout China and experienced Chinese life and culture at a grassroots level. Mike, more than most, is in a unique position to offer insight into how people in China really live, how decisions made in Beijing affect the average Chinese citizen and how China's new found economic success is affecting its neighbours and the rest of the world. Read commentary on the abolishment of the one-child policy, on the effect the controversial "gaokao," college entrance exam has on Chinese students and what the real story is regarding China's relationships with Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tibet. Enjoy viewing more than 60, full-colour photos of places like the City of Dreams hotel complex in Macau, Tiananmen Square in Beijing and the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. In short, increase your knowledge of this wonderful country by reading this book, written by someone who has actually lived and worked there. With China's rise continuing, it is crucial that we begin to understand this complex and fascinating country in order to get along in our future world. Along with being a captivating read, "Five Years In China" will open your eyes to the truth about China and will help you to understand its increasing global significance and the influence this is having on you personally.
