Squeezed up against Buddhist monks squawking chickens and on one happy occasion a soldier named Hero Polly clattered along pot-holed tracks from the snow-capped mountains of Shangri-La to the bear-infested jungles of the south. She braved encounters with a sadistic masseur a ridiculously flexible kung-fu teacher and a terrified child who screamed at the sight of her.
In quieter moments Polly contemplated China's long and colourful history - the seven-foot-tall eunuch commander who sailed the globe in search of treasure; the empress that chopped off her rivals' hands and feet and boiled them to make soup - and pondered the bizarre traits of the modern mandarins. And as she travelled she attempted to solve the ultimate gastronomic conundrum: just how does one eat a soft-fried egg with chopsticks?
