A BRILLIANT, EVOCATIVE TRAVELOGUE OF MODERN CHINA
To this day, China remains an enigma. Ancient, complex and fast moving, it defies easy understanding. Ever since he was a boy, Alexandre Trudeau has been fascinated by this great county. Recounting his experiences in the China of recent years, Trudeau visits artists and migrant workers, townspeople and rural farmers. Often accompanied by a young Chinese journalist, Vivien, he explores realities caught in time between the China of our memories and the thrust of progress. The China he seeks out lurks in hints and shadows. It flickers dimly amid all the glare and noise. The people he encounters along the way give up but small secrets, yet each revelation comes as a surprise that jolts us from our preconceived ideas and forces us to challenge our most secure notions.
