Description
Excerpt from China Coast Tales
The port was going to sleep commercially, that was certain but it was always astir socially. True, it was so far away both from Shanghai and from Hong Kong, that it was out of the wash, so to speak, of their social revolutions. But this very distance from the great Eastern centres of fashionable typhoons had given Foochow, in commotions, an individuality of its own.
