Inevitably, life in China as an expat changes you. No matter which stage of the expat journey you’re in, this heart-felt interview with Ruth Stevenson will speak to you. If you’re brand new and still reeling from the shock of the move, her recount of the first few months may hit home. Conversely you may be feeling well-adjusted to life abroad or even closing out your time here, yet hearing Ruth’s story of her first China expat experience, her repatriation home to the US, and adjusting to her second time in China will undoubtedly help you reflect on your time as a China expat and how you’ve changed

Your citizenship really isn’t classified by where you live, it’s classified by what you’ve experienced, what you’ve done.
