Mind the gap, a break from reality

Wu Fei's trip to New Zealand put him in the spotlight and made him money.

His book, Gap Year on a Working Holiday Visa, tells of his one-year traveling and working experience in the country and has sold over 50,000 copies since it was published by China CITIC Press in February.

The 28-year-old from Shanghai has held more than 20 book-sharing salons over the past few months, and has thousands of followers on his micro blog, The Journey of Wu Fei.
