In Great Leaps, Colin Flahive explores China's rural-urban migration against the backdrop of his own transition from Colorado to southwest China. There he partnered with three friends to open a café that became much more than simply an outpost of Western cuisine in a far-flung corner of the world. Over the course of a decade, Salvador's Coffee House became home to more than 50 young women from mountain villages in the surrounding countryside. Most knew nothing about coffee or Western food, but they moved to the city to work at Salvador's and earn their independence.

A Fascinating Look at Entrepreneurship and Community in China
Revisado: 02-23-25
I read Great Leaps a few years ago, and it has stuck with me ever since. Flahive does an incredible job of blending personal storytelling with cultural insight, painting a vivid picture of what it’s like to build a business in modern China. While many things have changed in China since his initial journey over twenty years ago, as an expat myself I relate to many of the deeper themes illustrated through his anecdotes and observations.
Flahive’s journey co-founding Salvador’s Coffee House in Kunming is both inspiring and familiar in a human way, especially in how he navigates the challenges of entrepreneurship while creating meaningful community for himself, his employees, and his customers. The book offers a rare, on-the-ground perspective of life in China beyond the usual headlines, making it a must-read for anyone interested in business, travel, or cross-cultural experiences. Highly recommend!
