Oracle Bones: A Journey Between China's Past and Present featuring Peter Hessler – China Videos

Nearly a year ago I posted about a documentary film being made by ChinaGeek's founder (and HHR community member), Charlie Custer.

Well, yesterday afternoon I finished off native-Missourian Peter Hessler’s third installment in his “angels abroad” China series, Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory, and I’m giving the book a very tall two thumbs up.
