1911réf. 193326North China: c. 1911. A delicate survival made by a Chinese girl in North China in 1911 depicting a water carrier with suspended vessels worked in coloured paper and thread. The girl was based in a mission-school and the work includes a contemporary note by the Methodist missionary William Eddon. Eddon's note states that "the above was drawn painted and cut out by a Chinese girl in a mission school in North China and is her idea of what a Chinese water carrier looks like. With best wishes and regards William Eddon Jr." and is dated September 1911. Contemporary missionary directories place Eddon in North China from at least 1902 first at Tongshan and Tientsin and later at Wutingfu in Shantung. Original cream sheet 258 x 206 mm coloured paper gilt paper and pink thread; black ink manuscript. Light spotting around figure nick to one margin. A very good example. unknown

8vo, br. ed. Hanging Devils is a true-to-life story of cold-blooded murder and corruption from one of China's foremost legal experts. Hong Jun, a recently-returned lawyer from the US, opens a practice in Beijing intent on helping ordinary people defend their rights. His very first case leads him to the hinterland of China's snowy northeast where the brutal killing of a local beauty took place ten years earlier. In his quest for justice, Hong Jun revisits the buried secrets of the recent past, and delves deep into the underbelly of the provincial police and court system in a case that proves to be anything but ordinary.

1955réf. 171714Beijing: Chinese Youth Publishing House 1955. First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed on the front free endpaper in Chinese by the Chinese delegation to the Fifth World Festival of Youth and Students "Presented to our dear young friend from America - China Youth League Delegation Warsaw August 1955". Convened by the World Federation of Democratic Youth the festival took anti-imperialism as its theme. More than 30000 people from 114 countries participated and the programme of events included parades speeches performances and sports meets. The proceedings gave everyday Poles an unprecedented opportunity to peek behind the Iron Curtain and ironically helped lay the foundations for the Pozna Protests. Sino-American relations remained strained amidst the fallout from the Korean War. One year earlier at the Geneva Conference John Foster Dulles had famously refused to shake hands with Premier Zhou Enlai. In Warsaw to protest American hard power China's representatives joined Russian and Japanese young people in a spirited rendition of the song "Never Let the Atom Bomb Explode Again". Building bridges with left-wing Americans sympathetic to Beijing was likewise an important part of the Chinese delegation's strategy. Below the presentation inscription is another reading in Chinese "Long live friendly relations between Chinese and American youth! Liu Meiqing". Quarto. Illustrated throughout in colour and black and white; floral vignette on title page. Text in Russian English and French. Original green boards tan cloth backstrip spine lettered and decorated in black front cover lettered in black blue and white decorative endpapers. Boards sunned one tip worn occasional staining and foxing in text: a very good copy.
