Default Has anyone done China Solo??

I have just come to an unexpected cross-road in my trip, I'm planning on doing a ten month backpack around Asia and Europe. I have NO experience in travel what so ever and I'm plunging into a huge trip in less than two weeks. Now here's my real dilemma. When I get back, I am going to be studying Ancient History, It's my passion and I expect It's going to be like a wet dream for someone isolated in a place like New Zealand to travel through these places. I have a particular fascination with China, so obviously I had placed it highly on my trip, but since my departure is coming closer I'm starting to have doubts. I have heard from everybody that China is difficult to travel through, I have never questioned this, but now the reality is kicking in and I feel my naivety is screwing with my common sence.
Is it really duable for someone with my lack of experince and Mandarin to travel SOLO across China for a month?
Give it to me straight, none of this "you can can do anything if you put your mind to it" crap. IS IT DUABLE???!!!! or just naieve?
Has anyone here actually backpacked Solo around China? (cause you seem to be rarer lot than I guessed)
