Roared he: "The orchestra should go de-bump-bump-bump, wha-ah, crash, zip, bang, de-bump, de-bump, bzzzz, wham!" It's got to be terrific, an earthquake, a tidal wave, the end of the world!"

It is as clear and tangible as the potential power of the Yangtze, the Great River, that roars through the gorges below the city, falling 16,000 feet from the Kunlun Ranges, while the millions who live beside it work through their brief years in ignorance of the power and light it might bring them...
