Features: This book records the not-so-smoky past of a foreigner in China. Sometimes, his tone is fervent, passionate, and he does not hide his love or even admiration for Chinese culture; at other times, his words are somber, expressing sorrow for the times and the people, and he speaks without reservation about his observations and criticisms of China's real-world issues. He says China is like a sister to the Czech Republic, something he has been excited about, disappointed by, and heartbroken over, but he has never been indifferent. Because one cannot be indifferent to their own kin. This man, whose life has been deeply influenced by China, is the renowned Czech sinologist Jaroslav Pr??ek.
