Reviews

[QM Zhao · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fairly faithful and non-judgemental records of China in middle 1980s

[JMV · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is written by one of the best ESL teachers who ever lived! Actually, 2 ESL teachers! Charles & Jill Hadfield taught in China in the early 80s, and captured the dragon about to transform into a modern global superpower. I imagine their book as an early blog, and I highly recommend all Jill's ESL teaching books, if you can find them! (most are out of print, and expensive!)
