«Red Dust: A Path Through China» is Ma Jian's travel book, published by Chatto & Windus in paperback (336 pages, in English).
In 1983, at the age of thirty, Ma Jian, a dissident artist, leaves Beijing after a divorce, the separation from his daughter, and police surveillance during the campaign against Spiritual Pollution. He travels for three years through the most remote corners of China: overcrowded cities, deserts, and mountain villages. The result is a personal chronicle of life under Deng Xiaoping and the country's contradictions.
For readers of travel writing, recent Chinese history, and memoirs with a political backdrop.
Ma Jian is a Chinese-born British writer.
