Six Year Old Tony Kaulins is the 2013 China Expat of the Year.

Six year old Tony Kaulins, who lives in Wuxi, China with his parents Jenny & Andis, has been awarded the inaugural 2013 China Expat of the Year award.

Coleshow “Huang Shan” Landis, Commissioner of the China Expat of the Year selection committee, said that Tony Kaulins earned the honour by being everything a China Expat should be in 2013. “Mister Kaulins,” said Landis, “lived in China without pretence. He didn't go around pretending to be another know-it-all would-be Sinologist. He engaged with the culture by avoiding any institution or event that hinted of his being a foreigner in China. He attended a typical Chinese primary school, eschewing schools for foreign children. And best of all, unlike most male expats who come to China to do no good things to the local woman, Mister Kaulins played with his train set and his father's Ipad. He maintained his innocence and that of the woman around him. He was a true gentleman.”

The 2013 China Expat of the Year award is the second expat honor Tony has received in his time in China. He was previously named AKIC's2010 Wuxi Expat of the Year.
