In 2004, Englishman Mark Kitto was at the peak of his career in Shanghai. Heralded by the Financial Times as a ‘mini-media mogul’, his city guides were the most popular English-language publications in China. But it all came crashing down when his business, in which he invested everything, was seized by the communist party.

Perhaps it was time to admit defeat and come home?

Instead, Mark turned his back on Shanghai and moved his family to the beautiful yet isolated mountain region of Moganshan, an area he had fallen in love with on a rare weekend getaway. The ex-tycoon had gone ‘China Cuckoo’.

Funny, touching and inspiring, China Cuckoo is a rare and intimate portrait of life in rural China through the eyes of one man who has survived house-fires, typhoons, corruption and cultural clashes, and learned to fall back in love with China.
