The British in China 1920-1939 The first of two programmes. Narrator Christopher Cook
It was business which took the British to China, not dreams of imperial conquest. And it was western business wealth which created the celebrated waterfront at Shanghai, the 'Paris of the East' as it was known in the years between the two World Wars.
For Shanghai was a modern, luxurious city, as some of the men and women who made their lives there in the 1920s and 30s recall in this programme. For the British 'missey', there was a household of servants, for
'master' the club, and for the sailors who found themselves in this greatest of seaports, every opportunity to fall from grace in one of the many notorious 'cabarets' with their White Russian 'taxi-dancers'. Research SHIRLEY WHITTON
