The author of this book has already revealed his feelings for Asia in one of his other books. His emotions are not only platonic, it is a serious relationship based on his own experience. Jan Fifik was active as an ambassador in Vietnam for several years and he later worked as a lecturer of Slovak language and culture in Beijing. Recently he has worked for the Slovak Embassy in China. During his stay abroad he heard many people's stories, he was taking in their troubles and he is trying to reflect them in his literary works.
The book, he is offering you, is the translation of the Slovak original, which was very successful with Slovak readers. His sharp eye and talents for conveying his impressions enable him to depict ordinary days in an extraordinary way. With the accent of bursting joy, wit and hyperbole he does not fear to talk about anything. Sometimes slightly suggestively he reveals the way of life in this country. Without hesitation, in his own manner, he records the events which only those most perceptive observers can see... It is fascinating. He gradually unveils the secrets and magic which China possesses.
