"Seek truth from facts" is the latest in a long series of China slogans, and Bernstein uses it as a kind of guideline, training his journalist's eye and ear on the places he visits, the things he sees and hears, and especially on the people he meets--students, peasants, factory workers, bureaucrats, victims of the Cultural Revolution, veterans of the Long March, dedicated Communists. More than anything, it is their human stories that make "From the Center of the Earth" an amazing portrait of a terribly troubled country.
