Abstract

Haven at Hankow
Corcoran, Crispian | January 8, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the sleepy town of Hankow and Nanking in East Coast China. Nanking has come to Hankow. Old residents, used to nodding to every foreigner met along the street, glance bewildered at the flood of new faces. Evacués from Nanking, on the other hand, recognize in the crowd moving snakelike along the river front, the continuation of the evacuation parade along Chung-shan Road, chief artery of the capital-with the difference that here the crowd is on foot. In Nanking, the procession was made up of thousands of passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy Diesel buses.
