A friend recommended this to me after my trip to Beijing, and I really enjoyed it. However, he writes of his experiences in China in the 1980's. I'm not sure if his descriptions are still accurate, although his feeling about the government there and in the U.S. are probably right on point. I really enjoyed learning about some of his travels across the countryside, and, like Bill, I appreciate the ways small and large that my life is easier. It was hard to track down this book due to its age, but well worth it.

Bill Holm is a wonderful writer and really makes the reader feel all the beauty and sadness of life in China.
