Features: This book recounts the not-so-distant past of a foreigner in China. Sometimes, his tone is fervent, passionate, and unreservedly expresses his love and even adoration for Chinese culture; at other times, his words are somber, reflecting his sorrow for 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, a country he has been excited by, disappointed by, and heartbroken for, yet he has never been indifferent. Because one cannot remain indifferent toward their own kin. This man, whose life has been deeply intertwined with China, is the renowned Czech sinologist Jaroslav Pr??ek.
