Both of Ash's books are excellent. I think, and I am sure you would agree, that if one is going to understand China, one must learn the countryside, even if it's just a little bit. Much of contemporary life, while it is probably invisible to the average tourist in one of the wonder cities, echoes patterns and life in the countryside.
this sounds super interesting. i’m craving something other than city life
