Features: Two Germans, following the footsteps of the Russian sinologist Alekseyev a century ago, traveled through northern China, from Beijing to Dezhou, Qufu, Xi'an, Hancheng, Yan'an, Jiaxian, Pingyao, and then recorded everything they observed and experienced through words and images. They not only felt the earth-shaking changes in China over the past century but also carefully discovered the unique and valuable elements in traditional Chinese culture from various different backgrounds. Their descriptions of the daily lives, joys and sorrows, and the resilient national character of ordinary Chinese people also make us re-examine the familiar social life and its significance. The English and German editions of this book will be published simultaneously in Beijing, China. The author's perspective is unique, and his feelings are also very special. Adding to this, the innovative and distinctive cover design by the German artist Luo Xiaodi makes the book both in content and form refreshing and eye-catching.
