Description<\/h2>\n

Participants met with China specialist Tese Wintz Neighbor to discuss the recently published\u00a0Street of Eternal Happiness: Big City Dreams Along a Shanghai Road\u00a0<\/em>by Rob Schmitz. Schmitz is the China correspondent for American Public Media\u2019s Marketplace<\/em>\u00a0show and a longtime resident of Shanghai. In this,\u00a0his first book, he “chronicles his interviews and friendships with several of the shop owners on the street where he has lived for some years, plumbing their dreams and capitalist motivations.” The result is\u00a0a collection of “probing human-interest stories that mine the heart of today\u2019s China” (quotes taken from the\u00a0Kirkus Review)<\/a>. Scroll down for a short video interview with the author.<\/p>\n
