🌏 English Review

Du Fu’s Five Cities: A Tang Historian’s Journey Through China by Lai Ruihe (Lai Rui-Ho) is a rare gem that blends travel writing, historical reflection, and cultural observation into one deeply personal narrative.

Between 1989 and 1993, Professor Lai — a Tang dynasty scholar of Malaysian Chinese heritage — traveled alone across nearly all of mainland China. His routes took him from bustling cities like Xi’an and Beijing to forgotten small towns such as Sancha and Golmud. Along the way, he met factory workers, professors, train attendants, and strangers whose lives mirrored the pulse of a nation in transformation.

With the trained eye of a historian and the sensitivity of a poet, Lai captured the textures of a China in flux — its landscapes, its ruins, its people. His prose is calm and precise, yet full of quiet emotion. What makes the book so compelling is how it intertwines the ancient and the modern: Du Fu’s poetic geography becomes a mirror for China’s twentieth-century journey.

This is not just a record of places visited, but a meditation on time, memory, and belonging. Du Fu’s Five Cities stands as both a cultural document and a spiritual travelogue — one that invites readers to rediscover the soul of a changing land through the footsteps of a gentle scholar.

💬 Recommended for:

• Readers interested in Chinese history and travel literature

• Scholars exploring cultural transformation and identity

• Anyone who loves slow journeys with intellectual depth and emotional resonance
