I have worked for the great man Li Yang, and as a young American teacher, I want to say what a good experience that was.

I was able to hire and fire, pick and choose, my own teams of fresh attractive teachers, mostly in their twenties, and throw out all the sad applications from those older washed up teachers in their forties and fifties that litter up the GZ teaching scene, as well as most of China, due to the great need here for ESL teachers. My teams were mostly handsome guys in their twenties, what fun.

In the USA, I would not have been able to use gender, race, or age, so freely in hiring and firing.

This was not in the GZ area. To protect our privacy, I will not say which area.

Li Yang is open minded in many ways.

My one small criticism is that his wife is claiming money based on the ESL books they wrote, these books abound in tiny errors, No Pain, No Gains, This should be No Pain, No Gain. She is a mother of 3 young kids, he is a busy businessman. They need someone to edit their books, and improve them.

The product line is a mess, with an oversupply here and there of the same stuff, not to mention the tacky looking covers and appalling designs. Li Yang could be making even more money if he would trim this up. I myself studied business methodology before hitting the wonderful China ESL scene.

She had a lovely large home, a cook, a cleaner, chauffeured cars, and still the anxiety of an unhappy marriage permeated their life.

Let's wish them both well, though I did want to point out how fair and generous Li Yang is in the eyes of this bright and ambitious American woman.
