Contemporary China is undergoing a maelstrom of changes in all fields of life and the intensity of those changes is difficult to grasp if you don't live daily amidst the Chinese.

I have been living in Beijing from 1986 till 2002 on a permanent base and at least half of my time from 2002 till today.
