Pathfinding China: a Self-driving Trip from the Countryside to the Factory
About This Novel
My name is Peter Heisler, a Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker. This book tells the story of my driving experience in mainland China. "Finding China" is the final chapter of my China documentary trilogy. It explores economies, traces the origins of development, and explores individual responses to change. Like the previous two books, it studies core issues in China, but it does not achieve this goal by interpreting famous political or cultural figures, nor does it make a macro-level analysis. It believes in showing the essence of China's transformation by narrating the experiences of ordinary Chinese people. I often stay in one place for months, even years, tracking changes. I don't just listen to the protagonists themselves, I open my eyes and watch their stories unfold in front of me.

It's interesting to interpret Chinese history from a foreigner's perspective!
Not fresh
The university library once had books on the experiences of CIA personnel in China during the Republic of China.
