Przez drogi i bezdroża. Podróż po nowych Chinach

Hessler's detailed observations paint a vivid picture of rural life amid China's economic boom. I wonder what motivated him to explore these specific communities.

The stories of farmers and factory workers highlight both progress and loss. How did others feel about the cost of modernization for these communities?

Hessler's selection of personal stories creates a nuanced view, but I’m curious whether he had a larger narrative in mind or let the stories unfold naturally.
