THE PEOPLE’S DOCTOR

The China Society for People's Friendship Studies (PFS) in cooperation with the Foreign Languages Press (FLP) in Beijing has arranged for the re-publication, in the series entitled Light on China, of some fifty books written in English between the 1860s and the founding years of the People's Republic by journalistic and other sympathetic eyewitnesses of the revolutionary events described.Most of these books have long been out of print, but are now being brought back to life for the benefit of readers in China and abroad. 　　The author visited China in 1976 as a young American intrigued by the accomplishments of China's revolution. He visited again in 1978, and in 1979 moved to Henan Province where he taught in a provincial college for 2 years. He was drawn to the small group of aging foreigners who had embraced China and its Communist party during the revolution and who had chosen to remain in China afterward. He is currently with the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies at the University of Hawaii, H
