China Cuckoo author Mark Kitto is talking to the Shanghai FCC next Wednesday - it's a great book about the old Zhejiang hill resort of Moganshan and he should be an entertaining speaker - see my earlier post reviewing the book.

A legend in Shanghai as the founder of that’s Shanghai and its sister publications, Mark Kitt

His experiences in Shanghai, the story of that’s, and the history of Moganshan, are vividly described in his entertaining new book, China Cuckoo. Mark will discuss the highs and lows of doing business in China, and the different challenges of life with the wild boars, retired4G military officers and would-be real estate developers of Moganshan.
