Mike Evans
Mike Evans is a foreigner with an American accent who plants trees in the hills around a remote village in the Northwest, where the villagers call him Bethune.
Mike Evans has blond hair and green eyes, but the sun has darkened his skin as deeply as any local farmer's, and in tattered jeans and a jacket with something of the cowboy about it he looks little different from the peasants who have worked the barren loess hills all their lives.
He lives in a plain two-room adobe hut crowded with crude, locally made tools such as hoes, shovels and pruning saws, and a thin layer of dust lies over his rough bed and kitchen things. On the bed sits a pile of titles, mostly on biology, Peter Singer's Animal Liberation among them. A small radio wired to an external D battery is the hut's one modern touch, and he also has an old telescope. He owns a single cup.
