From Dadu to Xanadu: Rediscovering China on the Ancient Road
by Luo Xin
About This Novel
This is a road that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty used to come and go from spring to autumn like a migratory bird. Peking University scholar Luo Xin, at the age of fifty-three, fulfilled his long-cherished wish fifteen years ago - to move from Dadu to Xanadu. "At my age, all hopes, dreams, confidence and ideals have been 'blown away by the rain and the wind', leaving only indescribable helplessness, frustration, anger and confusion. Yes, do I understand the society I live in? What is the connection between the distant and misty China I studied and the current China that often puzzles me?" Historian Luo Xin used arduous walking to start a profound exploration of history, the present and himself.
