Yu Qiuyu is one of China's best modern essayists. In this volume he takes his inspiration from China's geography, both physical and human, and brings the culture of his country to life with human characters and a historicalnarrative. The forests of Hainan, the Three Gorges, classical pagodas, an- cient remains under modern Shanghai all have their stories and cultural con- nections, traced with erudition and wit by an inquisitive mind.
