Book Reviews of Riding the Iron Rooster
Book Review: 12 years later - is the reality of China still the same?
Summary: 3 Stars
I suspect the reality of China now and then is not so different. Maybe the new economic openness has improved some conditions, but do the Chinese still spit on the floors of the trains? I'm sure Harbin is just a cold, Yunnan as humid and hot and Tibet still as oppressed.
