This amazing woman surpassed the most bold fantasies of Jules Verne, having been in places where the leg of a white man has not yet passed.

The world knows little works so dramatic fate: the book has written during bombing and in brief clutches between air alarms. A woman tells about his wandering on China"s roads among millions of refugees, about doubtful and painful position in the border city of Dazzynla in the extreme West of the country, where she completed the manuscript. The reader will see the authentic carnival of the most colorful characters: robbers and fraudsters, vagrants and whims, all sorts of "wonderworkers", fooling spaces. This is not just a personal writer"s personal diary, which has become a witness of the tragic history of the Great Country, but also a kind of encyclopedia of life, customs and morals of the Chinese of the first half of the 20th century
