Born in China's interior as the daughter of a Canadian medical missionary, Claire\u003cbr\u003e Malcolm Lintilhac learned fluent Chinese, became a traveling nurse and lived through\u003cbr\u003e the whole momentous first half of China's 20th century. After her family barely escaped\u003cbr\u003e the bloody Boxer Rebellion of 1900, Claire witnessed firsthand the years of civil war that\u003cbr\u003e followed China's short-lived Nationalist Revolution of 1911. In the 1930s -- as Claire\u003cbr\u003e cared for patients both Western and Chinese, fell in love and started a family -- she\u003cbr\u003e survived Japan's two horrific attacks on Shanghai, and her British husband Lin was\u003cbr\u003e interned by the Japanese in a Shanghai camp during World War II. In 1949 Claire\u003cbr\u003e watched as China's greatest city fell to the Communist Party, and in 1950 she, Lin and\u003cbr\u003e their son Philip finally left the country they loved. Illustrated with over 160 photos and\u003cbr\u003e drawings, China in Another Time is Claire's vividly personal account of China's struggle\u003cbr\u003e to become its own modern nation, from the last imperial dynasty to the advent of\u003cbr\u003e Communist rule. With an introduction by eminent China scholar Nicholas Clifford, \u003cbr\u003e professor emeritus at Middlebury College.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rootstock Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50357089599762,"sku":"9781578690183","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8e603d77-4546-4eaa-8992-59a3a0e4daae.jpg?v=1728316877","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/china-in-another-time-a-personal-story-9781578690183","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
