Rate this book
Intensiver kann man China nicht erleben: zu Fuß, ausgerüstet mit Rucksack, Kamera und Zelt. Der Filmstudent Christoph Rehage lässt sich im Herbst 2007 von Peking aus auf dieses Abenteuer ein. Sein Ziel: sein Heimatort in Niedersachsen. Er erlebt das Leben rechts und links der Straße hautnah, unterhält sich mit Wahrsagern, Mönchen und Bergarbeitern, erklimmt heilige Berge und durchquert verlassene Täler, u bersteht Schnee- und Sandstürme. Nach einem Jahr bricht er das Abenteuer aus privaten Gründen ab. Dieser Bildband ist das packende Zeugnis der 4646 Kilometer, die hinter ihm liegen. In persönlichen Texten erzählt Rehage vom Alltag der Menschen und hält seine Eindrücke in faszinierenden Bildern fest. China zu Fuß dokumentiert die ungewöhnliche Reise eines ungewöhnlichen Mannes und bietet einen einzigartigen Blick auf das China von heute.

What would you do if you were studying in Beijing, just about to turn 26 and possessed a strong passion for photography and exploration?

Christoph Rehage started walking on precisely that day. His aim: on foot from Beijing to Bad Nenndorf in Germany. The journey led him over summits and across deserts, past yaks and camels. He met some good friends and a teacher along the way. But after one year, three pairs of shoes and 4646 kilometers, he reached the point where he had to make a decision.

His video "The Longest Way 1.0" has reached a worldwide viewing audience of over 3 million. German publishing houses Piper/Malik and National Geographic have made travelogues and photo books about this journey. Even though Christoph is not wearing a real beard anymore, he still feels as if he's floating somewhere between Beijing and Bad Nenndorf.
