This is old-fashioned travel writing, with vivid prose and bizarre characters. But it also freezes some important world events for close inspection.
A Tale of Two Chinas
"Du wan juan shu, xing wan li lu" "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles" -Traditional Chinese saying A Tale of Two Chinas is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of China in the early-mid twenty-first century. Based on Hugh Battye's own compelling fifteen-year China journey, the book takes the reader on a topical odyssey, covering many of the major economic, political and cultural themes of the later Reform years, as well as of President Xi Jinping's current New Era. Through the vividly contrasting, yet complementary, descriptions of the "two Chinas" he experienced - the sophisticated society of the Chinese urban mainstream on the one hand, and the vibrant Muslim and Tibetan Buddhist minority cultures of the rural northwest on the other - the author provides a fresh, holistic and accessible account of a country that, despite its superpower status, still remains largely opaque to many in the non-Chinese-speaking world.
