SHANGHAI: If you ask history teachers here what's the best way to learn about China's 20th century revolutionary history, they'd probably guide you to Wang Longxiang, a 50-something biker, who's covered miles and miles of treacherous roads in a bid to "feel the country's past".

In the past five years, Wang, a 52-year-old resident of Shanghai, has biked across unfriendly routes, which were once tramped by the Chinese army during the Long March (1934-36) and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45).

In his own words: "I love to re-experience history, and try and make the public more aware of our country's past. I travel with my best friend, my motorbike."
