Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan is a simple place, in fact, ” go slow” is their motto. It is a place of leisure famous for its spicy cuisine, pandas, beautiful women, and rural wonders. Chengdu was a time trap for Chinese and foreigners alike to escape the bustle of coastal cities during China’s economic boom. Laowhy? explores the foreign underbelly of “white monkey” performers, English teachers, lovebirds, and development workers. Foreigners who relished in their “otherness”–a blessing and a curse of Peter Pan syndrome, emotional abuse, and rampant opportunism. The lifestyles in this book are immortalized in a time that will never again be revisited as China’s technological rise and crackdown on laowai lifestyles have made these tales all but fiction.
