Stewart Lee Beck

Stewart Lee Beck 李渡 was born in the cornfields of Iowa and raised by Midwestern parents in Chicago, blissfully unaware that he would spend much of his adult life in China.

A language assessment test administered in the seventh grade rated Stewart’s chances of learning a foreign language as just north of hopeless. He credits his modest level of success with Mandarin to his mastery of nearly every known mistake. Stewart shares this entertaining journey in his first book, China Simplified: Language Empowerment.

During his 24 years in China, Stewart served as a marketing director, bartender, actor, magazine columnist, philanthropist, screenwriter, and documentary producer. This eclectic mix of experience, coupled with his endless fascination with Chinese history and culture, fueled his second book, China Simplified: History Flashback.

Stewart now lives in Kuala Lumpur with his Malaysian Chinese wife whom he refers to as “the crazy woman who keeps me sane.”
