Riassunto

Discovering a largely forbidden country, Cindie Cohagan cycled across China's most arduous landscapes including daring ascents over some of the highest Himalayan passes in the world. Her journey is not only a stunning physical adventure, but also a mental and spiritual quest that pushes her towards and eventual conversion to Buddhism. Cindie's honest portrayal of the strangers she meets in this foreign land touch the heart. Finding Compassion in China speaks of fragile yet beautiful encounters with a country and its people: from angry authorities, to enthusiastic prostitutes to simple families who offer shelter when needed. It is an honest tale talking about the profound intricacies of the universal human heart.

Product Description:

By the time Tim and Cindie entered China, they had been traveling the globe by bicycle for three years. Cindie was ready to explore China's interior, but what she wasn't prepared for was the intense isolation that comes with not speaking the language, the scheming tactics of the Chinese government and the unexpected outpouring of kindness from the locals. Along the way the duo was arrested by the Chinese government, turned away from the only hotel in Siziwang Qui, thrown out of Internet cafes and called late at night by prostitutes. Yet whenever they needed food, shelter, or directions, the local people were there and willing to help-even if that "help" was scary at times.
