About This Book
A Chinese youth who survives mob violence and a sensational courtroom scene in an American town receives protection from loyal schoolmates, prompting a voyage from the American Pacific across seas to southern China. The travelers explore bustling ports and the interior, confront unfamiliar customs, and become entangled in escalating political violence as a nationalist uprising erupts. Through daring rescues, narrow escapes, sabotage of rail equipment, and pitched combats above ground, they aid refugees and contest besieging forces, culminating in an assault on the capital. The narrative emphasizes cross-cultural friendships, personal courage, and the practical resourcefulness required during chaotic conflict.
