In 1957 a young woman goes with a few comrades to study at Beida, Peking University, and stays four years. Ever since, she has kept going back to China, sick with an incurable 'China sickness' that has marked her whole life. Her account is less a travel report than a path between the past and the present, and an itinerary through her own existence.
