...itinerary, gave Snow permission to write as he pleased. Astonished at the youthfulness of the Red Army personnel (average age of its officers was 24, of its rank & file, 19), Snow was more astonished by the background of Red Army leaders. One was Commander-in-Chief Chu Teh, an "old-shoe sort of man" now past 50, once a powerful politician adept at the chess game of Chinese politics, who became a revolutionist in 1922 and gave his fortune to the Reds.

After besieging the city for four days we finally recaptured it, taking 2,000 Japanese prisoners...
...Staff to the Generalissimo. Last week after a final patching up of broken friendships in Nanking, General Li went north to command 50,000 troops he had sent ahead from the south to try to stop the Japanese in Shantung. Shantung's Governor, famed General Han Fu-chu whom Japanese have been trying to win over by bribes, thus had to make up his mind last week, clarioned: "I urge all under my command to vow resistance to Japan until...
