In Fuding and the Hulin Mountains, we were accompanied
by small crowds of interested friends, family, workers and
onlookers. Unexpectedly, they pitched in and helped with

paradoxes – diamond slivers of the country’s beauty, depth,
communality and industriousness, intermingled with fragments
of its past and poverty, its teeming cities and pollution. These
shards of China somehow came together in the story of the Lin
family, whose lives are inextricably steeped in the dramatic
history and unfurling future of their fascinating country.
