“Mr. Bordewich, by searching so assiduously, so affectionately, and so understandingly for legacies of the Chinese past, may paradoxically be giving us some foretastes of a China yet to be.” —Jan Morris
“Tired of drab Maoist China, having worked for the
Chinese News Agency in Beijing, Bordewich set out in search of the old China of tradition, artistic fulfillment and religious contemplation, the Cathay that the Communists have attempted to stamp out. This delightful, surprising, compulsively readable adventure lifts a veil from a China
most observers thought was irretrievably lost.” —Publishers Weekly
