In this fascinating memoir, Orville Schell, a former U.S. diplomat and journalist, recounts his experiences living and working in China for over four decades. Schell offers a unique perspective on the country's transformation from a closed society to a global superpower, and provides insights into the inner workings of the Chinese government and its foreign policy.

Schell first arrived in China in the early 1970s, at a time when the country was still reeling from the Cultural Revolution. He witnessed firsthand the country's gradual opening to the outside world, and was involved in some of the most important diplomatic events of the era, including the negotiations over the future of Hong Kong and the normalization of relations between China and the United States.
