Jade is often thought of as something ancient and gathering dust in
museums, but in China it is a vibrant part of modern life. More
jade has been carved this century than in the rest of human history
combined. For Chinese people, jade represents everything that is
pure and noble, and Andrew Shaw gave up his life in England to
embrace it, and became the only foreign master jade carver in
China. Jade Life tells his story and also the story of jade itself.
His description of the jade industry today provides insights into
the hearts of Chinese people and also into how they have managed to
turn a backwater state into a world superpower in less than three
decades.
