About the Book
"This isn't an age that dare not speak up wealth, this is an age that needs to use wealth to sublime one's life." –Long Island Beijing marketing catalogue.
"Home of Tycoons," titled after a condominium complex in China, explores real estate marketing in Beijing during 2004 – only moments before the old city would be completely demolished and replaced by high-rises, stadiums and suburban gated communities.
Through photo documentation and sampling of poorly translated Chinese to English sales materials, this book explores the fantastical side of home ownership in China.
