Infos

In 1981 newlyweds Patti Isaacs and her Italian husband Federico Gauss Rescigno traveled to China, a place she'd grown up fearing, to work for a year in the ancient capital of Xi'an. Returning 24 years later, Patti reunited with old friends, worked with China's younger generation, and found a city transformed. Her stories are snapshots of a span of years when a city under communism-slow, agrarian, and egalitarian-became a fast-paced metropolis of 8 million.Illustrated with maps and "e;before and after"e; photos, The Second Long March chronicles changes that had occurred in her life, the lives of her former students, and the country itself in its rise as a global economic power. She presents events for those seeking to understand them through the eyes of ordinary people.
