ABSTRACT

The following morning, Feng Chieh-wen and Ah Shun took Wei-kuo to Hsi-k'ou. At the same time, Kai-shek and I left by train for Soochow, which was only about fifty-three miles west of Shanghai, on the Nanking-Shanghai Railway. It was a very interesting journey, passing small towns, cypress trees, green fields, and many, many grave mounds, Kaishek told me that this trip was the second part of our honeymoon. He wanted me to see this famous old city with him.
