Sobre este artículo
UK.: Norton.. 2005.. 332pp, notes, dustjacket, a very good hardback copy. Hoping to improve her Chinese and broaden her cultural horizons, the author went to work in China, eventually becoming the star of a wildly successful soap opera. Living the culture clashes in real life while playing out a parallel version onscreen, she witnesses the country's vast changes. A sort of Chinese counterpart to "Sex in the City" revolving around Chinese-Western culture clashes, the show was called "Foreign Babes in Beijing." Living the clashes in real life while playing out a parallel version onscreen, Rachel forms a group of friends with whom she witnesses the vast changes sweeping through China as the country pursues the new maxim that "to get rich is glorious." In only a few years, billboards, stylish bars and discos, international restaurants, fashion shows, divorce, foreign visitors, and cross-cultural love affairs transform the face of China's capital. Foreign Babes in Beijing is as astute and informative as it is witty, moving, and entertaining. .
