Summary, etc Having always been what he calls, a wannabe teacher, Rob <br/> Harris saw his opportunity in late 2003. At the time, <br/> Robs New Zealand employer was going through a death spiral<br/> towards receivership. One morning, he saw a small <br/> newspaper ad with the intriguing title: Teach English <br/> Overseas. A short course later and a chance online meeting<br/> with a teacher, who had just returned from China, meant <br/> that in February 2004, Rob was winging his way to Dalian <br/> in the North East of the Peoples Republic of China. Now <br/> 10 years later, he has been able to put his experiences <br/> and insights on paper. Coincidentally, it was a book by <br/> another New Zealand teacher Jane Carswell that inspired <br/> Rob to write. I picked up Janes Under the Huang Jiao Tree <br/> and literally devoured it in one day Rob says. On every <br/> single page of Janes book, I gave out a yelp of <br/> recognition, of a student, fellow teacher or situation, I <br/> had experienced Rob has completed two sojourns in China, <br/> and is planning a third. His first in Dalian, in the old <br/> Manchuria, close to the border with North Korea, was <br/> followed by another in Qingdao, site of the 2008 Olympic <br/> sailing regatta. The most memorable part of Robs China <br/> experience, was six weeks he spent in Gaizhou over the <br/> Northern summer of 2004. Living in the home of a Chinese <br/> couple who ran a language school, Rob experienced <br/> something of life in China away from the big city. At the <br/> end of the holiday period, Rob wrote a play for the <br/> students to perform for their parents. The play was <br/> entitled The Cat Thief of Gaizhou, which is also the title<br/> of this book. Note: The commonly-encountered syllable <br/> zhou is pronounced Joe and simply means place.
