Step by intermediate step follow todays Simon, the poor black wanderer who has come to start a new life in China, only to learn how little its ancient betrayals and cruelties have changed and finally to fall in love, with a female Party commissar who is the secret leader of a deadly rebellion, and follow her startling fate.
