充满感情的文字、丰富而珍贵的插图为您讲述一个意大利人与中国一生的情缘。This book tells the story of Adriano Màdaro and China throughout his life with precious illustrations.

The first sight at Mr Màdaro reminded me of Goethe, the famous German litterateur, because of his big, black eyes capable of calming down people instantly. The German poet Heine once described Goethes eyes as calm as the eyes of God. His eyes are so focused, and so firm, indeed a sign of Gods eyes. Mahatma Gandhi also had such eyes. With just a few words, he could pacify several million heated and armed people. Confucius was a saint in China. Being his favorite disciple, Yan Hui was undisputedly the leader among the 72 disciples. Yan commented on his respected master: He is so elevated in character, and so firm in spirit. Sometimes in the front, sometimes at the back, it is too elusive to follow him. I thought Mr Màdaro also deserves such an evaluation. These words have been lingering in my mind ever since I was asked to write this preface.Perhaps there is no need to explain elevated in character because a former Chinese leader aptly called Mr Màdaro a modern Marco Polo, and the touching moment has been recorded in history. Marco Polo traveled in China for 17 years. His book The Travels of Marco Polo showcased the magical Oriental world to medieval Europe and ushered in a great era of navigation.
