Teaching in China is surely one of the most surreal experiences anyone can have. When I arrived in this country I had no idea what I would encounter. I knew nothing about the culture, the people, the costumes or even the political and economical situation. I had never visited Asia before and never had Chinese friends either. So, I can clearly say that it was one of the most shocking and complex experiences in my entire life. And this is a book that will show you why.

Introduction
Teaching in China is surely one of the most surreal experiences anyone can have. When I arrived in this country I had no idea what I would encounter. I knew nothing about the culture, the people, the costumes or even the political and economical situation. I had never visited Asia before and never had Chinese friends either. So, I can clearly say that it was one of the most shocking and complex experiences in my entire life. And this is a book that will show you why.
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed when arriving is how much the Chinese smile. I still remember entering my classroom for the first time and seeing all those asian eyes starring at me as if I was a super star coming to that country just to teach them. Flashes from mobiles were coming from everywhere. They just love the foreigner face. So much that I felt very weird when, apart from having the female students saying I’m very beautiful (what I don’t think I am) having a male student saying the same. Either he was or not one, the truth is that homosexuality it still a tabu subject in China, a country with very likely, the biggest gay community in the world. They are so afraid to be seen, or appear on pictures, spread all over weibo (their facebook, very often used to humiliate people inside the culture) that you can barely notice where they are or who they are. Many get married, due to fear of social repression and family rejection, even though never having sex with their own wives during their entire life. And women in China, need a husband so much that they will gladly accept a gay, especially if he’s a millionaire. Money is God in China!
I slowly started to realize that the smiles are masks that hide very evil and cruel people and the questions they make are not friendly at all. They want to know as much as they can about you, since you arrive, and will send good looking and friendly students to do the dirty work for them. The students are puppets and obey anything that is requested from them, including spying their own teacher.
The spying however doesn’t stop here. When you arrive China, and even after (even though not always), they will go regularly to your apartment and every time you’re in class, wherever that apartment is, either inside campus, outside, or even in an hotel room, to check trough your papers and personal objects. There is a kind of spy-paranoia in this country that goes far beyond the imaginable. Even people that are outside the campus will ask you what you did before coming to China, and what you do in your free time, because they need to know if you’re a spy.
Even though this was never confirmed by the Chinese, there are other evidences that are clear about the fact that catching spy can make you a millionaire in one day. It’s like winning the lottery. Criminals have their head on prize everywhere, and if you catch one, he gets a bullet in the head and you get your bank account full of money.
Who cares about compassion in this country? Nobody. Money is everything, life, happiness and religion.
Life Inside a College Campus
While at the University, many students present reports to the Communist party about the activities of the foreigners and will get payed for it, especially if they can spread a rumor about foreigners that can put the attention on these people instead of the evilness and corruption activities inside the government. The most innocent looking student, even during a meal in the canteen, will ask you what you think about China, the Chinese people, the government, etc. They will also ask you and research widely for your webpages on internet, forums, etc. In fact, it’s ironic to know that even though many websites are banned and blocked in China, they have special devices like VPN and Freegate, to enter them and check what they can on you.
It’s also no surprise to have your private account being asked for a new friendship acceptance from one of your students. Usually, they are stupid enough to not even hide their real name and identity, but vicious enough to check all of your pictures, copy them, send them to the government, analyze what you write to see if there’s any anti-government, or anti-china topic, and so on. They are usually more concerned about the reporters because these are the ones that can send immediate information and proves that show the real China behind the lies that nobody around the world can even detect. That’s why they enter your email account, wherever that is. And your computer as well.
