Liu Jing was born and raised in the era of opening-up Beijing. He is a successful Chinese artist and entrepreneur who works regularly with international clients and has made many friends through his work and travels inside and outside his native country. With this English comic book about Chinese history, Liu Jing hopes to put China into its historical context: for his newborn son, his friends both near and far, and for anyone who has even a passing interest in understanding what China is and from whence it came.
