He also highlights the struggles and achievements of the local people, who were often caught in the crossfire of larger political conflicts.Overall, ""Far West in China"" provides a fascinating look into a little-known chapter of Chinese history, and sheds light on the challenges and complexities of building a socialist society in a remote and ethnically diverse region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
