William Lindesay & Guo BaofuGreat Wall expert William Lindesay is well known for his 2,470 km solo adventure (documented in Alone on the Great Wall published in the UK by Hodder & Stoughton, 1989) and he has since published many books on China and its great wall. Since 1994 he has been primarily engaged in systematic research of the Great Wall in the Beijing region and in October 2003 published Images of Asia: The Great Wall with Oxford University Press (OUP). He is the founder of "International Friends of the Great Wall" as a society in Hong Kong in order to "assist China's cultural-relics protection authorities in the task of preserving the authenticity of the Great Wall." He has written high-profile contributions for National Geographic Traveler (50 Places of a Lifetime), Chinese National Geography (translated into Chinese), the Asia Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler, ICON and Archaeology. His China photographs have been used in The Times (of London), as well as the Daily Telegraph and Independent. William Lindesay was awarded the rank of O.B.E. (Officer, Order of the British Empire) for his international conservation of the Great Wall of China in the 2006 Honours List issued by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. He lives in Beijing. Lindesay, a former resident of Xi'an before settling in Beijing, based his writing on the archeological text of the late Guo Baofu, former director of the Preservation and Conservation Department, Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huangdi. Guo Baofu studied archeology at Beijing University. |
