Foreign Babes in Beijing by Rachel Dewoskin

Foreign Babes in Beijing by Rachel Dewoskin

Hoping to improve her Chinese and broaden her cultural horizons, Rachel DeWoskin went to work for an American PR firm in China. Before she knew it, she was not just exploring, but making Chinese culture - as the sexy and aggressive, fearless Jiexi, star of a wildly successful soap opera. A Chinese counterpart to Sex and 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 on screen, Rachel forms a group of friends with whom she witnesses the vast changes sweeping through China as the country pursues the new maxim '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.

Rachel DeWoskin was a soap-opera star and consultant in Beijing for five years before she returned to the United States. She divides her time between New York City and Beijing. She teaches poetry and writes Chinese rap.
