Rob Gifford's China Road

One of the recommended readings is China Road by Rob Gifford. He has lived in China for 20 years. His next assignment will be NPR bureau chief in London (Gifford, 2008).

He used several of these stories on NPR. I remember one particular story of Gifford making an impromptu sermon to a small Christian Church.

Interspersed with his experiences travelling China’s route 312 he gives an interesting prĂ©cis of China’s history and development.

I highly recommend this book.
