The author’s first novel, a tale of debauchery - sex, booze and drugs, which follows the experiences of an English teacher in China during the happy "boom times" when China won the right to host the Olympics and was accepted into the World Trade Organization. The book also describes the author's time in Beijing during the SARS epidemic. Written in a frank but humorous style, this work provides many insights into modern Chinese society.

"The deletion of individualism, is something that can be seen in China. I have noticed it with my older students, when I ask them a question. At first, no one will put their hand up. Then, when pushed, perhaps the class leader or monitor will raise their hand. At this point most of them follow, and put their hands up. Communism in a nutshell. Follow the leader. Group thinking, and mentality.

And this mentality, makes the masses of people in China, easier to control.

But reverting to my previous observation, related to the lack of individual talent in the West, perhaps the West are blindly following this model without really knowing it."

China Laid Bare is the sequel to this book.
