Foreword

Tus little volume is the result of years of study and observation. Since its first writing in 1926, it has been rewritten twice in order to bring it as nearly up to date as possible. The difficulty of writing on China can be easily appreciated when one keeps in mind the fact that conditions are changing with bewildering rapidity and that they vary greatly in different portions of the country.

The main purpose of the volume is to describe the currents and undercurrents of life in Chinese society which mark the dawning of a new era. It is hoped that the readers of these pages will have a better and more sympathetic understanding of China’s problems.

Shanghai, China.
