As Schmitz becomes more involved in their lives, he makes surprising discoveries which untangle the complexities of modern China: A mysterious box of letters that serve as a portal to a familysand countrysdark past, and an abandoned neighborhood where fates have been violently altered by unchecked power and greed.A tale of 21stcentury China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles Chinas distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.
