Overview

In a year of China, from the Korean border to the Himalaya, the author met hawking police officers and nationalist tea planters; subversive abbots and pro-democracy communists; drunken sages, indestructible porters, terrorist tour guides. One thing was certain: Change would cease for none of them.

About the Author

Justin is a London-based writer whose first book 'On heaven's Lake' is published by Smashwords. China has fascinated him since he read the tales of the Dragon King who disobeyed the instructions of the Jade Emperor and flooded the countryside; the boy who turned stones into rice; and lovers escaping wicked parents by turning themselves into cranes. Aside from teaching at a Chinese university, he has worked for a family business, a military think tank, and a public service. He is currently studying at the University of Oxford. Some time soon he hopes to return to the Middle Country and live another year amongst the chaos.
