Travel deep into the remote western and southern interior of China as protests swirl in the cities and foreigners, especially Japanese, are cloaked with authorities' suspicions. She falls in with the charismati and combative wandering painter Cao, whose work is at the very edge of acceptability as far as the Chinese establishment is concerned.
