I went through the internet for some stories about Laowai or foreigners for Chinese. I found some interesting websites and blogs, mostly in English.

A Modern Lei Feng:  Lei Feng - A Chinese soldier who became a hero in death and served as an example for Chinese school kids ever since... Modern Lei Feng - Half Chinese, Half American with writers in China, the US, and the UK. Lovers of sports, music, food, drink, and the good life, but also working to help China "rise up"...

Lost Laowai:  Lost Laowai has been made for and is maintained by China expatriates with a deep interest in China. This site does not presume to be the be-all-end-all, one-stop-Laowai-shop. However, we do hope that through our commonality of being inside a country where we are (and always will be) considered "outsiders" we may come together and share our experience, learn, and grow together.

Shanghai Laowai: So.... How did I come to be a Shanghai laowai? On one very cold, snowy evening when our house was incredibly messy, Meng brought up the idea of moving to China again. He painted a picture of a wonderful place to live where it did not snow. He told of a magical woman, called ayi, who we could afford to pay to clean our house. He continued with lofty visions of a better life (cheap beer, massages, entertainment) or at least a different life (riding a bike, killing cockroaches, crowds) where we could live in a big city. Lured by the “China Dream”, we came to China in search of our pile of stock, which we can take back with us when we return to America. Like the thousands of Chinese lured to America in search of Gold Mountain, times have shifted and we are now searching for our opportunity in this so called land of the booming economy. We sold our most prized possessions--the car, the house in order to pay for our transport to this mysterious land. We flew here on the back of a dragon which carried us across the vast sea...........
