Sobre IBD

A richly detailed and gripping firsthand account of the infancy of modern China as experienced by American journalist Noël-Marie Fletcher, a young professional woman tasked with reporting news on developing trade and industry from teeming Chinese cities and isolated hinterlands in the 1980s. In this series of personal anecdotes, Noël-Marie recounts her adventures with realism, humor, and key insights, guiding the reader on an informative and engaging journey from her first awkward encounters with back-country Chinese manufacturers to the dramatic hardships she experienced during the Tiananmen Square uprising and its aftermath. An engrossing eyewitness account, 'My Time in Another World,' provides a rare personal perspective of China before its climactic transformation into a global superpower.
