Description

China is undergoing the biggest and fastest societal and economic change in human history.

Driving this dizzying transformation is the idea of the 'Chinese Dream', the promise that in the new China, anyone can make it.

Journalist and writer Nick Holdstock has travelled the length of this huge country in order to find out the reality behind this rhetoric - from the factory-owner, to the noodle seller, from the karaoke maids to the hoteliers, and from the deserted, ageing countryside to the young and overcrowded cities.Chasing the Chinese Dream follows a cast of extraordinary characters: we meet the people getting rich; running factories and buying luxury cars and Louis Vuitton bags.

But we also meet those left behind, trapped by a system which forces long hours and no prospects upon them.

A spell-binding and magical narrative, this book looks to tell the story of modern China through the people who are living it.
