That of repairing fans.When he left his hometown of Nanking in China, escaping from the disasters of the Cultural Revolution, he never thought that cooking was going to be his only way of supporting himself in the foreign land. However, his love of fans, and skill of repairing them, leads him in his interactions with other people to fundamental changes of his, and their lives, in most unexpected ways.This novel is an insight into the discreet world of Chinatown, but also into the illegal, and lucrative trade of precious artefacts.
