In Search of Beadle Lu

About the Book

Follow an American college student and his classmates through what has shaped up to be some of the most formative experiences in their lives to date—living and travelling in mainland China. With high hopes of adventure in an exotic, foreign land, the author and his companions instead confront and endure the physical, emotional, and mental challenges of living in modern China. On a deeper level, though, they witness and reflect upon history in the making—an ancient civilization struggling to remake itself economically, politically, and socially. The book’s backdrop is a harrowing adventure in search of distant relatives in the Chinese countryside the author, until that summer, did not know existed. This truly American tale of one young man’s search for his roots is a story for all to enjoy and gain from.
