Blofeld wrote this book in Chinese, using a traditional Chinese style. That comes across in the translation, which make the book quite charming.

This is Blofeld recollecting his years in China, 1932 to 1948. It's a very personal book. But he got around a lot, on professional and personal trips, while he was teaching English at various schools and working as a cultural attache at the British Consulate. We hear about trips to sacred mountains... well, maybe that's what most of the stories are about! Good fun all around. ( )
