About Jocelyn
Guest Writer Jocelyn in qipao with her husband
Writer, Chinese translator and founder of Speaking of China, Jocelyn Eikenburg is the most prominent voice on the web for Chinese men and Western women in love. Married to a Chinese national, Jocelyn has grown a following through her offbeat stories about Chinese culture, and advice about cross-cultural love, dating, marriage and family. Her blog is syndicated on the Global Post, and she was named A Woman Blogger To Watch by WE Magazine for Women.
Jocelyn first noticed Asian men in 1999, when she dated a Zhengzhou, China native while living and working there. While their love didn’t last, her love affair with China and Chinese men did — as she found them to be some of the most romantic, sexy and devoted men she had ever known. In 2002, while working in Hangzhou, China, Jocelyn met John, her future Chinese husband, who inspires her writing to this day. She also loves singing Chinese music in karaoke bars, and hopes to finally master Jay Chou’s fastest songs — and not miss a beat.
