Features: This book records the not-so-smoky past of a foreigner in China. Sometimes, his tone is fervent, passionate, and unreservedly expresses his love and even admiration for Chinese culture; at other times, his words are somber, lamenting the times and the people, and he speaks without reservation about his observations and even 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 people cannot be indifferent to their own kin. This man, whose life has been deeply intertwined with China, is the renowned Czech sinologist Jaroslav Pr??ek.
