Riboud writes in a prologue note, "For so long, and until so recently, China was a closed and secret land where the huge transformations taking place were almost always hidden from foreign eyes. Today the doors are opening." The book is a fascinating glimpse into history, showcasing art and culture, personal celebrations, and a peek into the lives of many different individuals, from the wealthy to the poor. A fascinating and captivating book.
