Description
Red Dust: A Path Through China
A deeply personal and insightful account of one man's journey through China, in search of himself and his country. In the early 1980s, at the age of 30, Ma Jian felt suffocated by the constraints of his life in Beijing. With the country undergoing rapid change, he set out on a three-year journey to the westernmost border of China, seeking inspiration and a new sense of purpose.
This unique book offers a fascinating glimpse into the contradictions of China, as seen through the eyes of a man who was both an insider and an outsider in his own country. With its vivid descriptions of deserts, cities, and landscapes, Red Dust is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
