The Underbelly of the Dragon: A Peek in China's Shadows

By F.S. Upp

This is a tapestry of true stories woven in a fictionalized narrative showing sides of China rarely discussed. Greg, a young, hedonistic and directionless American, finds himself nearly broke in Hong Kong after months of traveling around Europe and Asia. It's time for him to start working again, and he is tempted by the plentiful illegal and sometimes lucrative work opportunities available to foreigners in Mainland China. But these opportunities aren't without dangers - danger of imprisonment, danger of deportation and danger of being scammed. Greg will have to face all of these risks as he discovers some of China's contradictions and wonders. During his adventure he finds himself high, in more than one way, working as a "white monkey", teaching, people-smuggling and running from the law.
