Experience the rollicking adventure of How I Lost My Kidneys in China, an award-winning exploration of an emerging nation and one man's attempt to reach the top before karma takes him down.
It's 1990, and most travelers avoid China except those with a taste for the exotic and Randall Flores, a young man from Chicago. Instead of settling into a mundane job, he packs his bags and heads to the People's Republic. His two-decade journey leads him to the highest levels of the executive world, mingling with the ultra-rich. However, Mr. Thunder, Randall's alter ego, pushes each situation to the limit. As a result, he begs for his life on the streets of Shanghai.
How I Lost My Kidneys in China not only tells a cautionary tale but also describes a changing China. As the country speeds into the twenty-first century, it leaves behind a backward and awkward past. Randall provides a detailed account.
