Acerca del libro
China is a country of contrasts, from the rural communities in the sparsely populated Tibetan Plateau to the booming business in Hong Kong and satellite cities, growing in number and scale.
Millions of peasants leave the countryside to seek their fortune in the city. By adopting the new market socialism - or is it state capitalism, the poverty gap between the rural and urban areas continues to grow.
Han, Hui, Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Zhuang, whatever the ethnic origin, also for the new city dwellers, tradition still plays a prominent role in their daily life.
Man-made landscapes now complement China's most diverse nature.
