April 14, 2008 - Saint Louis, MO--- Inventor Gary Kellmann and teacher Michael Kuhn have together penned White Ghost in China, their first novel based on Kellmann’s own experiences in China.
Inspired to keep a journal while living and working there, Kellmann decided a book was the next step.
Kellmann, at first sensitive to the Chinese diet and pollution, overcame the rigors of both. "I was also one of the few white ghosts (a term that Chinese Nationals call westerners) living in my city, located in the factory districts of Shenzhen, China. I learned how to deal with thugs, business sharks and was fortunate to find a friend who became my mentor. He taught me about China's ancient history, tutored me in Mandarin, and helped me assimilateinto modern Chinese culture. China has proven to be a wonderful puzzle of ancient civilization colliding with the modern world."
The book has real life romance including "sharing my life with a special Chinese National," Kellmann said. He met and fell in love with her while working in Shenzhen. Co-author Michael Kuhn joined Kellmann in writing the book because its based-on-true-events aspect is inspiring and offers a glimpse of the Chinese culture and the country's magnitude. "I knew this book was to be a part of my life's destiny," he said, "and after travelingto China andvisiting with my good friend Gary, I was smitten by the history and culture."
