520 $aThe Hong Kong-based photographer and writer Basil Pao determined to travel through every province of China, capturing history and landscape, people and places, to give a comprehensive snapshot of China today. But it was also a journey of redemption; an opportunity for him to finally embrace his own patrimony, overcome his prejudices and reach an understanding with the cultural heritage that runs in his blood. The result is by turns lyrical and exquisite, stark and beautiful. Powerful images and informative text combine to create an account that is both personal and documentary. It shows China in transition: a country in the grip of an industrial revolution, absorbing a large part of the world's resources, whose 4,000 years of cultural history are being rediscovered even as they are being destroyed. New urban wealth and rural poverty coexist uneasily as a new regime tackles a legacy of corruption, anarchy under Mao's cultural revolution and repression in its aftermath.
