Oh gosh there's a huge list of good books:

"China's Best Actor: Wen Jiabao"
"Big River, Big Sea — Untold Stories of 1949"
"La la la"
"Beijing Doll"
"Life and Death in Shanghai"
"Wild Swans : Three Daughters of China"
"Serve the People!: A Novel"

But you can't buy them on the mainland but they're available in HK! Wink

I'd say that Jeet Kune Do book by Bruce Lee. His master was from Hong Kong named ip man and they made a movie about him. Bruce Lee was chinese so it's kinda china related since he did come from China.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
