It divides the Forbidden City, home to generations of Chinese emperors, from Tiananmen Square, the vast granite square constructed to glorify a New China under Communist rule. To walk the street is to travel through the story of China\u0026amp;#x27;s recent past, wandering among its physical relics and hearing echoes of its dramas. Long Peace Street recounts a journey in modern China, a walk of twenty miles across Beijing offering a very personal encounter with the life of the capital\u0026amp;#x27;s streets. At the same time, it takes the reader on a journey through the city\u0026amp;#x27;s recent history, telling the story of how the present and future of the world\u0026amp;#x27;s rising superpower has been shaped by its tumultuous past, from the demise of the last imperial dynasty in 1912 through to the present day. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920509026462,"sku":"ING-9781526151735","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526151735.jpg?v=1782822515","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526151735","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
