Since the Reform and Opening, China has seen more and more rapid economic and social development. The landscape of the countryside and towns has also undergone sweeping changes. From 2001 to 2007, China's automobile industry grew at a rapid pace. The author of this book, Peter Hessler, traveled through China’s countryside and cities by car, witnessing the radical changes of villages and towns transitioning from agriculture-oriented economies to industry and commerce oriented ones. This book shows us a realistic picture of China's development by depicting the changes in various places and retelling the stories shared by people from all walks of life.
Peter Hessler, known as He Wei in Chinese, was a correspondent for The New Yorker in Beijing and a contributor to the National Geographic magazine, among other media. The author had traveled from Prague to Thailand via Russia and China, accomplishing a self-guided trip spanning half of the world, and thus began his journey writing non-fiction literature. Hessler is the author of a trilogy of China documentaries: River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze, Oracle Bones: A Journey Between China's Past and Present, and Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory. The Wall Street Journal describes him as "one of the Western world's most thoughtful writers on modern China."
