More about the book
In February 1984, Tiziano Terzani was arrested in Beijing, searched, interrogated, and ultimately expelled from the country. He had lived there with his family for four years, striving to feel "Chinese": sending his children to local schools, exploring places unknown to tourists, and witnessing a China that diverged from its superficial image. Rich in news and data, reflections and impressions, this book serves as a report, a travel diary, a contemporary sinology essay, and the captivating narrative of a human adventure.
