Working for two years as an English teacher of young Chinese journalists Cull discovered "China's other face". In his privileged position he witnessed the lead-up to the "Tiananmen cataclysm and its aftermath" and caught rare glimpses into Chinese character and culture. He also discovered the world of 'the foreign experts'. Those "travel-worn and often delightfully eccentric expatriates hired by China for their particular knowledge and skill".
