Five years spent in Manchuria, China's 'East North.' Life in a city that was built on the threshold between civilisation and a vast wilderness: A forgotten land once home to the barbarian hordes. This is the story of a bike ride north in winter, to the last refuge of the barbarian 'other.' National, regional and personal identities; homelands, borderlands, and cradles of conflict; they all intersect here - with some surprising parallels to the contemporary West - under Globalisation's empire of the setting sun.
