Hutong Heartthrobs - Tammy Treichel
- How an American Academic and a Chinese Migrant Worker Found Love in Beijing's Alleyways
Who would ever have thought that an American academic and a Chinese security guard would find true love in the Beijing subway? Certainly not Tammy... Then one sunny day in May, on her regular subway commute, she spotted the young, dashing Jackie and her life changed forever.
Tammy is a headstrong American academic and editor and Jackie is a happy-go-lucky Chinese migrant worker - a security guard-turned-movie actor who stands in for Jackie Chan. They had both come to Beijing to chase their dreams, driven by a sense of adventure. It turned out to be the same dream. Unfortunately, their path to true love doesn't run smoothly.
Hutong Heartthrobs is a love story that bridges social and cultural divides. These are two people from completely different backgrounds facing cross-cultural misunderstandings and embarrassments, but enjoying the tiny triumphs along the way. Their worlds collide and pasts merge into a life both shared in a snug alleyway in the heart of China's capital.
But will they have their happily ever after?
