About this ebook:
"Fascinating", "eloquent", "horrifying!" These are among the ways readers have described LeRoy's first-hand account of China and of working in its state-media and education systems. With a journalist's eye and lively wit, he uncovers the deep roots of corruption tearing at China's social fabric.We learn of universities complicit in honoring exam cheats, students sold into servitude while teachers pocket the proceeds, farmers driven off their land by officials taking payoffs, and frenzied window-dressing for international events such as the 2008 Olympics. We also learn how China's official merchants of propaganda continue to peddle the official Party line throughout."Sometimes it takes an outsider to observe the obvious!" LeRoy notes as he bears witness to all of this. But his own experiences are no less harrowing: contending with false accusation and dishonored contracts, along with persecution at China's state radio and television institutions. In one episode, he is even hauled to a Beijing police station at night on false rape charges!But this book is not mere narrative. LeRoy also identifies the poisoned history that has given rise to China's "web of domination", its "culture of impunity", "loss of morality and courage", and "spiritual impoverishment". He observes a society in which human beings are commoditized, quality of life is outlawed, and avarice cloaked in the flag of Communism. Meanwhile, China continues to "grow faster than its competence."Yet, in this nation of extremes, LeRoy also offers some rays of light, including romantic encounters with "raven-haired beauties", and moments of comedy, from the sex-crazed monkeys of Emei Mountain to overzealous frisking at a Changping nightclub!Crafted over more than a decade, and spanning from Sichuan Province in the west to Beijing in the east, "Dueling the Dragon" is both compelling adventure story and penetrating anthropological study!
