This is a poignant and irreverent diary of the author’s yearlong (2001-2) experience of teaching English to college students in Beijing, People’s Republic of China. From the very first pages, the author draws you into his struggle with a culture worlds away from his comfort zone. The author’s generous and compelling personality allowed him to gain access to the lives of his students and their families, who became characters in his tale. One can experience the author’s wit and humanity throughout the narrative. The author’s humorous view of China is especially timely and dovetails with the current explosion of interest in that country as it enters the modern world. The book is neither a travelogue nor a look at the government, although elements of those subjects are woven into the story. Instead, it is an engaging look at China, tailored toward those who know little about it. Still, those who have lived and/or traveled there will also enjoy the book as it reminds them of the absurdities they, too, experienced.

树龄外卖 Shǔlíng wàimài means “Spiritual Take-Out”. Wàimài is what we call the guys on motorbikes delivering restaurant take-out orders across the city. As I sat in my apartment unable to go out during those first few days of the coronavirus, looking out the windows, I could see these unsung heroes delivering food to the masses, keeping us all alive. As I thought about how we also couldn’t get out to attend our normal fellowships to be spiritually fed, we also needed someone to deliver a different kind of wàimài… here you go, your Spiritual Wàimài has arrived!
