Notă biografică
Rob Gifford first went to China in 1987 as a twenty-year-old undergraduate, to study the language. A fluent Mandarin speaker and former BBC producer, he has spent twenty years studying, visiting and reporting on China.

'An absorbing cultural trip ... Conversations with truckers, hookers, karaoke-bar hostesses and peasants are interspersed with briefings on the status, politics and past of the country'
