Mostly color illustrations by a young Bu Di. In good+ condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers with French flaps. light bumping and creasing to edges and corners of covers and light overall scuffing> Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. [From foreword] There are many things said about China abroad. Some say that China is mysterious. What does she look like? How do her people live? What is she thinking about and where is she going? In this book, I wish to introduce to the world the paintings of a chinese boy, Bu Di, who started drawing at the age of four and at six kept a diary by means of painting. At seven he participated in the All-China Children's Painting Competition where he won first prize. At the age of eight he had already had an exhibition of his work. Now he is nine. For this collection, I have selected over fifty from his hundreds of paintings. In order to understand a country and her prospects, it is important to know how she educates her next generation and how she nurtures the spiritual life of her young people. Bu Di is one of China's millions of children. Children are quick, guileless, and outspoken. For this reason, to understand the mind of this nine-year-old child, his thoughts, his feelings, his dreams and his ambitions is to understand China's present as well as her future. Surely this effort is worthwhile! KE YAN January 1980
