Photographer Stefanie Schweiger (*1979) and author Phoebe Hui (*1983)
set out in search of ancient wisdom, hidden worlds, alternative
medicine, and faith, in China. In words and images, they tell stories
about their encounters with Chinese masters of healing and lore. Their
paths lead them to Buddhist secret societies, shamans, hermits, Taoists,
herbalists, Tibetan doctors, bimos, feng shui experts, and
monks. They explore if the wisdom passed down for thousands of years can
be reconciled with contemporary Chinese life. The book lays out a
nuanced panorama of China's diverse beliefs, many of which are virtually
unknown in the West.
