{"product_id":"9781787194502","title":"Letters From China","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is not an excursion guide. It is a collection of writings to friends, and articles published in the China Daily newspaper that describe living and working in China. As such it contains much useful and interesting information about this country and its people, sometimes serious but often amusing. For example, it does not suggest a restaurant to go to, but it describes what to expect when you are admitted to hospital. Photographs used are more personal rather than attractive tourist advertisements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTed Mason was a teacher in the UK for many years before working as an education adviser in Shanxi, China for five years.
