Shanghai Rumours: Western Lives in the Heart of China
-
Detail

In the rapidly globalizing world, more Westerners than ever are choosing to work and live in the East. Yet literature capturing their lived experience remains scarce. Shanghai Rumours fills that void.
Australian author Christine Velde explores a compelling question: why do Westerners from Australia, Europe, and the UK choose to build lives in a culture so different from their own? Through this literary memoir, she shares the stories of those who arrived in Shanghai seeking opportunity, adventure, or something they couldn’t quite name—and stayed to confront the daily challenges and unexpected rewards of life in China.
From the disorienting to the delightful, Shanghai Rumours captures the texture of expatriate life in one of the world‘s most dynamic cities. It is a book for anyone who has ever lived abroad, dreamed of it, or wondered what really happens when East meets West.
