The Scientist on Assignment to China (中国)


Overview

The scientist was getting ready to travel to Mainland China with the People to People group and present his scientific research paper to Chinese scientists. Suddenly, he found himself also going as a US spy to obtain critical chemical information from China. He was made an offer he couldn't refuse. The scientist travels to China, presents this paper multiple times, and obtains the critical scientific information that his country sent him to get, but he also meets his Chinese translator, a university student, and her husband. They expose the scientist to the Communist China worldview. He viewed it through his eyes and the robust US Christian worldview of his upbringing. There were stark contrasts. Our Western society and culture were drastically different from theirs. In 1989, China was starting to enter the modern world. The scientist saw modern ways, but he also saw the past, old ways of living life in China. He liked that. The scientist also found himself involved in the tension between Communist rule and those wanting a free and capitalistic society. The scientist walked among student protesters one Sunday afternoon in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. After visiting other cities in China, he returned home safely, satisfied that the experience was a once-in-a-lifetime one. At home, several months later, he was horrified to see in his newspaper the accounts of the Tiananmen Square massacre of those protesting students by the Communist China military. This started the scientist on a quest to return to China to find his translator and her husband's whereabouts. They had disappeared after the incident. Follow the scientist in his incredible adventures to Mainland China! Join him as he experiences the trip of a lifetime, visits fascinating places, meets unique people, and sees how people there live miserable lives under the Communist regime. It's an eye-opener and a thrilling spy adventure.
