My Thirty Years in China

'...we learned later that we were the first American couple to adopt a child in the People's Republic'

My Thirty Years in China is a collection of autobiographies of select foreign pioneers of business and industry in China. The collection includes memoirs by Sidney Rittenberg, Clinton Dines, Joerge Wuttke, and Michael De Clercq among others. For the few foreign business people who have been engaged with China since this time, the changes have been dramatic. Their memories and insights – sometimes comic, sometimes sad – recall the joys and frustrations of their adopted home and paint a fascinating picture of what has changed in China over the past three decades – and what has not.
