Four hundred million people, and a republic three years old. Carpenter travels the China of the early nineteen twenties by riverboat, rail and carrying chair, through Peking, the treaty ports and the deep interior, reporting the silk, the tea, the coal and the famine, and a country in the middle of deciding what to do about the twentieth century.
