Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This adventurous narrative follows the author and his companion as they venture to walk from Shanghai to Burma across uncharted territory on foot, traversing over 2000 miles in China. Whilst the majority of foreigners merely observed events from the concessions of established trading ports, this daring expedition took the author through a China few Westerners had ever seen. Brimming with camaraderie, struggles, and humor, this historic book paints a picture of a country on the cusp of great change. The complex picture painted of day-to-day life in China gives an indispensable overview of the lives of ordinary people, their customs, and their history, at a time when China was beginning to modernize. The author's personal anecdotes and experiences, told with clarity and candor, make this a fast-paced and fascinating account of exploration and insight. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn about China's past, or understand its geopolitical significance in the world today.
