This historical biography is a forgotten chapter in the drama of Republican China in the 1920s and 1930s. It recounts the story of EUGENE CHEN, the overseas Chinese lawyer who rose from diaspora obscurity to China’s diplomatic and political heights in the Nationalist period. From son of Chinese immigrants in a remote British island colony in the Americas he rose to become one of Republican China’s foremost progressive figures, and a person whose memory is still revered in the China of today.
