One of the most clearly presented and painless introductions available on the fundamentals of the most important Chinese contributions to the sciences of human existence, physiology and healing. Hsu skillfully applies the Socratic method to Chinese metaphysics via the medium of a quietly engaging novel. The more elusive secrets of Chinese medicine are revealed through the heart and mind of a sincere young American doctor seeking practical knowledge and the secret to an ancestral riddle, in a beau ideal of modern China.
