HENLING WADE, TOM. — 100 Years in China.

Ipswich: Print4me Ltd, 2003. The true story of a British family living in China from 1843-1952, from Clipper ships to Commissars. "This book offers a picture of part of China in the still remembered past, when the Treaty Port system prevailed and the Western nations held 'Concessions' of land in Chinese cities, where their own law prevailed and they enjoyed self-rule, protected by their own military forces. It was a system of neo-colonialism, abhored by Chinese Governments, yet tolerated by many thousands of Chinese for its commercial opportunities and other conveniences." Pp.350, 26 pages of b/w photo illustrations, signature of author(Henling) to title page although his gift inscription has been obscured with tippex, remains of label to title page.
