Praise for the book:

“Tong Jun was an architect of substance who made many significant contributions. He excelled as a scholar and practitioner. In A Solitary Traveler in the Long Night, Zhang Qin provides considerable details about his life from 1968 to 1983. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese architecture or architecture more broadly.” -Professor Frederick Steiner

“It is such a personal account, and beautifully translated. I had read a lot of Tong Jun’s writings and certainly know more about him than the average reader. For someone who doesn’t know him, it tells a moving personal story far beyond the life of an architect.” -Professor Nancy Steinhardt
