Although this book tells the story of one man’s life, it simultaneously describes the changes occurring in China during the past seven decades. Starting with the success of Mao's Revolution and the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, through the Cultural Revolution of 1966 – 1976, up to the present entrepreneurial milieu in China, this book traces China’s recent history through the personal odyssey of one man, showing how he and his family dealt with the tightening and eventual loosening of its economy. Born in 1963 in a cave in Shanxi Province, Jackie Zhang went to school during the Cultural Revolution but soon dropped out. On his own he learned English from a Radio Australia course. Through constant repetition of material from the radio program he became fluent in English, which permitted him to leave a secure but unpleasant job as a machinist and become a tour guide. This transition led to additional transitions, as China became a supplier of goods and services to the world. Businessmen on his tours solicited him to work with them, first to represent an international consulting firm in China and then to locate reliable production facilities in China. Today Jackie Zhang is a successful businessman who has his own export business and shares his expertise in lectures at a university in Beijing. He also continues to enjoy guiding tours.
