“...I was very full of activity, espec iaIly at Half-Term. The staff went around with guarded looks. We children were bursting with suppressed excitement. AlI the events were so well thought-up and planned. It refreshed me for the rest of the term. Chefoo is embedded in my memory, like a word chiselled on meta I . Its memor i es and exper i ences will last a I i fet i me. "CHEFOO IM 1983" Coming up to Chefoo in the year 1983 to spend the summer there, I was asked if I had ever been before, and remembering my five years at school, nearly fifty years ago, I launched into reminiscences, and told all I could recol lect of the dear old place. Just then, our conversation was interrupted by the conductor calling "Chefoo in five minutes", and sure enough, we cou Id see the c i ty ly i ng just ahead , but I cou Id not recogn i se it. We landed on a flying ground constructed where the sand dunes of the West Beach must have been in our time. The f i rst bui Id i ng to confront me was a large Hote I ;...”

“...Days. The business section of Chefoo extends from second to fourth beach, and the large office-buildings such as McMullan & Co. and each departmental store, have a landing-field for aeroplanes, on the roof. A rai Iway, which was laid behind the hi I Is, connects Chefoo with Weihaiwei and all the northern cities. The hills are no longer bare and rugged, for a lovely residential section has come into being and extends far up their sides, and buses and trams, not to mention aeroplanes and rockets, make transportati on to these beautiful homes quite easy. Ail the once vile-smelling creeks have been transformed to fragrant courses, and altogether "Chefoo is the most wonderful city of the Orient," to quote one enthusiastic fellow-traveller. — H. H. and S. G. (Thanks to Hilda Briscoe and David Parry the Chefoo Magazine is able to reprint the above article found in a 1933 copy of the Chefusian (a magazine put out by the staff and students of the C.I.M.

“...distant shore, In a land we see no more, Was a school and home as well Where boys and girls and staff did dwell Summer sun shine, summer heat, Winter snows beneath our feet, Skies so clear and sea so blue In the bay we called "Chefoo". Lessons done what fun we had In trunks and swimming costumes clad, Second beach with cats eyes neat, Hot sand for our feet, Light house Island picnic thrills, Monastery among the hills, Summer outings to the Bluff; Of these we never had enough! Mule Road and Ninghai Gate, Jubilee and Summer Fete, Then came Coronation Day, Naval ships out in the Bay, Teachers all so kind and true, Instructing us in what to do. Now scattered far we all do roam, Calling many countries "home". Our prayers to God we daily send Receiving blessings without end. "Chefoo", you taught us with our might To serve our God and do the Right, Always striving to the end To call all men and women "Friend". — Linda G. (Sergeant) Marr [1935-38 5...”

“..."DESTINATION CHEFOO" (an autobiographical sketch) — S. Gordon Martin — (1929-51 Staff] My parents were married on January 1st 1901....For their honey-moon they travelled from Hankow to KuIing , the lovely mountain resort where the Chefoo School had its last four years in China. My parents travelled by cheap fare, Chinese class, according to the Spartan standards of the China Inland Mission. Many years later my mother said to me, "I think we might have allowed ourselves some indulgence on that occasi on." When Heather and I got to KuIing in 1947, we found a retired Methodist missionary, William Rowley, living there. I told him once that my parents had had their honeymoon on KuIing in 1901, and he said he thought he had met them; two young missionaries came walking up the ascent, and he asked them to have tea with him at a teahouse. "I knew they were newly-weds," he said, "because she asked him whether he took sugar in his tea." I related this story to my mother later on, and she emphatically...”

“...had many free periods which we wasted in playing chess or less worthy games, until I grew tired of this; so with Michael Foster (who afterwards became a student of Christ Church at Oxford) I started to read Book III of Herodotus; Michael had an annotated text of this and I had my grandfather's complete text; so we read that together, and Herodotus became one of my friends for life. I had that same small volume of Herodotus in my pocket in the winter of 1950-51 when I was acting as Headmaster of Chefoo School in KuIing ; the Communist authorities let us know they wanted a contribution from us rich foreigners for "winter protection against the Chiang Kai-shek bandits;" they intimated that one mi 11 ion dol lars would be an acceptable contribution. I think that this amounted to about £40 sterling. So with one million Chinese dollars under my arm I went up to the Foreign Affairs Bureau; when I arrived, they said they were too busy to attend to me; I must wait. So I sat in a sheltered ditch in...”

“...her hands it tel I fu I I on her white si Ik blouse and made its mark. With the Mission house next door and young men destined for China in our house, China was a constant background to our lives. Among the young men were numbers whose sons and daughters I afterwards taught at Chefoo; Ernest and Harold Weller, Frank Learner, Yorkston, Thompson, Gilbert Vinden, Douglas Robertson, and others; some too who joined the staff at Chefoo, Pat Bruce, Reg Harris, Harold Chalkley, Reg Bazire and Gordon Welch. So it was easy for me to feel that God's call for me was China. I think I knew by the age of twelve that I was meant to be a teacher; and by the time that I was 16 or 17, I felt sure that I was meant to teach at Chefoo. I felt that I had had all the benefits of a missionary upbringing without any of its attendant hardships, living in a foreign land, often separated from parents and grandparents, perhaps suffering an inferior or interrupted schooling, exposure to disease and danger. Instead of...”

“...were not tor the Chefoo School which cared tor their children and ensured that parents and children met tairly frequently. In the late Twenties when China was suffering from the War Lords, travel was d i ff icu 11 and some fami I ies d id not get together even once a year. Then I heard someone say, "The heart of the C.I.M. is there in Chefoo." So I saw that the staff there were much more than class-room teachers; we had to be pastors and friends and substitute parents. This was no school where the students were present in term-time and absent in time of holidays; the teachers were not on duty from 9 to 5. I felt afraid as I looked forward; and I remember expressing my fear at a C.I.M. Prayer Meeting at Newington Green. But the Lord gave me an encouragement from II Timothy 1.7; "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." The day came when I left England, sailing by a P. & 0. steamer from Tilbury dock... .Trave I I i ng by P. & 0. was in some...”

“...leave at once for Chefoo. In Kansu there was a famine emergency and George Findlay Andrew who was teaching at Chefoo was summoned to help with Famine Relief work, and I must fill the gap he left. Andrew was really much better equipped to organise and direct and pay ten thousand coolies on relief works than to teach English literature. So I did three weeks' work in 24 hours, wrote my examination and caught a river steamer to take me to Shanghai . From Shanghai I travelled on a Butterfield and Swire steamer with Frank Parry to Chefoo. I had known Frank and his brother Bob in years past; I had known their father and before long I was teaching the next generation of Parrys at Chefoo. It was such previous contacts which made me feel that Chefoo was the place where God meant me to teach. I was a son of the C.I.M. and found myself at home in this schoo I for chi Idren of the Mi ssi on. So the two-day journey was soon over, stopping at Weihaiwei and then into the harbour at Chefoo; and I had arrived...”
