Overview

"Embracing New China is about stepping into a world where regional curtains part, allowing you to view candid images with no pretensions. Secrecy, suspicions, and unease are cast aside, revealing ordinary people refusing to be submerged under the waves of a population of 3.4 billion. Theirs is a lifetime molded by over 6,000 years of traditions, habits, and fears. One phrase often repeated, ""Too many people, just too many people,"" suggests futile resignation. Restraints preventing experimental ""openness"" have lessened, beckoning this world power to embrace the erosion of past barriers erected. Media propaganda and financial strategies have new spins perhaps foisted by demanding entertainment venues to give the people what they want. With the simple ease of page-turning, your visual experience of Embracing New China provides riveting images, answering a fundamental question: ""What do people want?"" Pictures help us to gain insights and encourage us to embark on customized cultural bridge-building adventures of our own."
