The British in China 1920-1939: Part 2
Narrator Christopher Cook
Few westerners were fortunate enough to discover the real China for themselves in the 1920s and 30s. That was except for the Christian missionaries who preached their gospel and built schools, universities and hospitals in the interior. And those who travelled along the Yangtse river.
In the second part missionaries recall life in Chinese villages which had never seen a European before; and men who served with the Yangtse flotilla, the fleet of gunboats maintained by the Royal Navy, remember life on the river. Research SHIRLEY WHTTTON
