App Description

"A Decade of Writing" brings together a collection of the published work of four well known expatriates for the first time in one volume.

With articles taken from the archives of the popular China Expat magazine & website, this collection provides memories of early days, provoke exclamations of “I didn’t know that!” and inspire today’s generation of China expats to get out, engage and explore.
