‘The Colour of the Sky After Rain’ tells the story of my relationship with mainland China over a period of some forty years.

I wanted to investigate why, for most Westerners, the people of China are so difficult to know with any degree of depth or intimacy. And yet, since they comprise one-fifth of the world’s population, it is imperative that we in the West should understand them.
