A remarkable true story that opens a window on the dramatic decades that made today's China. Born in China's interior as the daughter of a Canadian medical missionary, ClaireMalcolm Lintilhac learned fluent Chinese, became a traveling nurse and lived through the whole momentous first half of China's 20th century. After her family barely escapedthe bloody Boxer Rebellion of 1900, Claire witnessed firsthand the years of civil war thatfollowed China's short-lived Nationalist Revolution of 1911. In the 1930s - as Claire cared for patients both Western and Chinese, fell in love and started a family - shesurvived Japan's two horrific attacks on Shanghai, and her British husband Lin was interned by the Japanese in a Shanghai camp during World War II. In 1949 Clairewatched as China's greatest city fell to the Communist Party, and in 1950 she, Lin and their son Philip finally left the country they loved. Illustrated with over 160 photos and drawings, China in Another Time is Claire's vividly personal account of China's struggle to become its own modern nation, from the last imperial dynasty to the advent ofCommunist rule. With an introduction by eminent China scholar Nicholas Clifford, professor emeritus at Middlebury College. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
