| Summary, etc |
Spring, 1933. Peking's Forbidden City is tense with fear and expectation. Japan's aircraft drone overhead, its troops and tanks are only hours away. How will the curators protect the vast imperial art collections in their charge? A million pieces of art-- objects that carry China's deepest and most ancient memories. For sixteen years the curators, under the leadership of museum director Ma Heng, would transport the imperial art collection thousands of miles across China. Brookes details the story of a curators and their fragile, invaluable cargo. -- adapted from jacket |
