“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 4 I much enjoyed reading this year's issue which I thought was very well done. I was saddened to read the obituary of David Thomas, one of the boys in the picture I sent, used in the 2005 issue, written by another of the boys in that group (standing beside him). Hakon Torjesen, who featured in your cover story was also in the same picture and John Sturt (page 1 5), is also there. I also made a contribution, so five out of eight of my "gang" is not bad going, and others have featured in recent issues. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated. Gilbert Dunach/e, Belgium My sister, Edna was good enough to mail me the latest copy of the Chefoo Magazine. It was so interesting (as well as beautifully put together) that it prompted me to renew my membership. I have so many good memories of Chefoo and Chefoo Schools, and I want to collect my thoughts and write in some detail, if I may (but notjust now), something that is worth printing in the next edition.

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 6 (Hallgren, China Journal, from Page 1) Shanghai When I arrived in Shanghai I saw remarkable contrasts from what I remember in the late 40's and early 50's. I remember arriving in Shanghai in 1947, after a long train ride from Alberta to San Francisco, and another long boat ride to Shanghai. Immediately I was hit with the stench, filth, and poor living conditions of the Chinese. I also remember the rickshaws, sampans, junks, and shacks that were everywhere. This time I arrived in Shanghai after a 1 9-hour flight (with one short layover in Tokyo) and was immediately struck by a dynamic and vibrant city that is rapidly changing. By the time we got to Kuling our group were 49 people, most of whom are children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews of individuals who attended school at Kuling. The tour was sponsored by the Kuling American School Association and included four who were there when the school closed in late 1937. The school was re-opened in late 1947...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 7 other member of the KASA party, writer Aimee Liu (see p. 9), asked if she could go with us, and then our national guide, Frank Ming Lu, said he too was very interested in our search so hejoined us. We now had a party large enough to take one of the small tour buses at no extra cost to us. Given how long our journey was to be, that was most fortunate. We got to #7 Hospital, which was in the northeast part of Shanghai near the Yangtze River. But this definitely did not have any buildings that looked like the old CIM headquarters. With Frank's help, we managed to get an English speaking doctor, Dr. Anji Hou, to try and determine if there was a hospital on Sinza Road. With his contacts he realized we may be looking for the Children's Hospital on Xinzha Road (the same sounding as Sinza, but now spelled differently). We had to travel about an hour and a half in the opposite direction back where we came from. Frank was a big help, and eventually we came to the...”

The Martin house, where some of the senior boys were also housed, is now the Yiyuan Hotel and Famous Persons Villa, as seen in the Ruling Gallery, on page 1 6. Some of our group stayed in the " KAS/ CIM villas", but the majority of our group of 49 were in villas (cottages) across the road, toward the Gap. After lunch we were taken by bus to start a 2 hour hike of Embroidery Valley, with steep cliffs and drop offs starting at the Taoist Cave of the Immortals, which is one area I don't remember visiting as a kid. After returning to our villas and cleaning up, we were bussed to the Lushan Villa Hotel where we were given a very formal welcome banquet as guests of Lushan. (Note: Ruling is one of several valleys in Lushan CIM Ruling cohorts: Henry Hallgren, Ian Grant, Eleanor (Roots) Schumann, Tom Richardson, and Alan Bromley mountain, or literally, Lu Mountain, as 'shan' means mountain).

I am certain that we could have gone faster, but we had a driver that must have come from the school of saving gas: speed up to about 100-110 kph and then coast in neutral until the bus slows to about 80 - 85 kph. Repeat! Then repeat again for the rest of the trip!! The purpose of going to Yichang was to visit the Three Gorges Project which is the biggest water conservation project in the world. Its purpose is to prevent future flooding of the Yangtze and also to provide additional hydro-power for an electrical power hungry country. It is not as high as the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State, but with the width of the dam and the reservoir behind, it is a true engineering feat. Don Libby, a former KASA student who was on our trip (Kulingites will remember Don's first wife, Loretta Roots, who died tragically in a car accident in 1988), has a brother who worked as an engineer on the project at the invitation of the Chinese government.

FACE (1994) centers on a young photographer raised in New York's Chinatown who exposes three generations of family secrets, dating back to Imperial China, while coming to terms with her mixed-race identity -and her own hidden past. Aimee's first novel is now back in print after more than a decade, CLOUD MOUNTAIN (1997) draws on Aimee's grandparents' own story, where she "has given us an unforgettable tale of star-crossed love that spans four decades, and a heroine whose courage and conviction you will never forget" (from the back cover of the paperback issue). She writes: "This book is about 70% factual, with the other 30% resulting from creative license as I tried to move deeper into my grandparents' emotional motivations." The Chefoo Magazine editor has read this story, and describes it as "magnificent"!

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 11 GEORGE FINDLAY ANDREW By Frank Moore In 1947 my brothers Raymond, Alan and I were attending the CIM school in Shanghai when our uncle George called on us and invited us out to dinner. I wasn't very clear about who this uncle was, I just knew that he was my Dad's favourite uncle. He was big and hearty and welcoming and took us to a downtown restaurant where he encouraged us to make ourselves at home. We did. That was the only time I ever met uncle George and I came away mightily impressed with his largesse. In the intervening years I have realized that his life story offers another fascinating angle on what becomes of old Chefusians. Here is part of that story. George Findlay Andrew was born in Guiyang, Guizhou province on the 14th July 1887, the second child and the first son of George and Jessie Andrew, pioneer missionaries of the CIM. He was christened George after his father and Findlay from his mother's maiden name. He began school at Chefoo in 1 893...”

“...the confirmation of this principle. After this it becomes fairly evident that the mission did not know what to do with him. He didn't slot in to the orthodox mainstream. In 1 925 hejoined the teaching staff at Chefoo. He taught Latin amongst other things, and he stayed five years. In March 1 929 he received a call from the CIFRC. His supervision of the relief effort of the Gansu earthquake eight years before had not been forgotten. He was needed again. Later that year when he got back to Chefoo he wrote a gripping account of his experiences. The article is entitled 'Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread'. He wrote: " In response to an urgent appeal from the China International Famine Relief Commission at Peiping, I was released by the Mission from my teaching duties in the Chefoo Schools in order to make a tour of investigation in the province of Kansuh from whence most acute famine conditions were reported. These reports had been reaching the coast for months and before taking any active relief...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 13 from the school. In November of that same year Findlay Andrew, now 43 years old, was sitting in the offices of the China International Famine Relief Commission in Beijing when he got a telegram from Baotou in Inner Mongolia. It told of the plight of two women missionaries of the CIM who had been captured by bandits whilst floating down the Yellow River on a raft made of '180 inflated goatskins'. They were Helen Hayward, an American with suspected cancer, and Edith Gomersal, her British traveling companion. They were aiming to get to Baotou from where they could catch a train to Beijing. They had come from Lanzhou and had already successfully completed a month of their arduous and dangerous journey. They were in the lawless and bandit-riddled area of the Yellow river where it reaches its northernmost point and runs some hundreds of miles through the Ordos desert before turning south. Findlay Andrew knew thejourney that they were taking and precisely where...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 14 MOGANSHAN Revisited By Ian Grant CIMers and their children vaca-tioninq in Moqanshan in the late 1940s. Moganshan was a mountain vacation spot in Zhejiang province for missionary families as early as 1890. By the early 1 930s there were about 1 60 Western-style stone mansions, as well as seven tennis courts, a stream-fed swimming pool, and two churches -- one Catholic and one Protestant. Chiang Kai-shek and his cronies began assembling on Moganshan in 1927, when Chiang first came with Soong May-ling on their honeymoon. The Kuomintang crowd set up their mansions on the other side of the mountain, which was soon named Wuling after Chiang's home village in Xikou. Throughout the 1930s and 1 940s Moganshan's Wuling was the site of work and pleasure for China's political elite. Inthesummerof1947 theCIM was able to rent a property there and take the school students in Shanghai for a vacation, half going for one period, followed by the other half. It was a memorable...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2007 Page 18 ST PAUL'S VOYAGE TO CHINA, 2005 — By Francis Joyce A journey undertaken by Francis Joyce (formerly known to us as Rob), with some assistance from St Paul's Anglican Church on Bloor Street in Toronto by way of a special donation made for that purpose. The trip was between August 14 and 26, and included visits to Qingdao, Weifang and Jinan in Shandong Province, and Shangqiu and Kaifeng in Henan Province. Shangqiu, Henan, was the principal city of interest to the members of St Paul's Church which had funded the building of St Paul's Hospital there in 1923 and where, through missionaries from St Paul's, there had been contact with a small Anglican congregation, popularly known in Toronto as "St Paul's Church China." Francis Joyce was born in China of missionary parents and grandparents who served under the China Inland Mission. Counting all the years of all members of his family who served under the CIM and/or lived in China, Francis has a Chinese heritage...”

From there a young woman, a Mrs. Li Heng Xin, emerged and warmly greeted us. We explained a bit about who we were. She said she was trying to reach the person who was in charge of the church and to that end kept making calls on her cell phone. Finally, after some delay, a woman got out of a small passenger van and also greeted us warmly. She introduced herself to us as Mrs. Zhang Zhirong, the mother of the young woman, Mrs. Li. Francis Joyce, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li SIC In the restaurant we were treated to a minor banquet over the course of which we had the pleasure of getti ng to know Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li. I led off the conversation by introducing St Paul's with the letter from Barry Parker, St Paul's Rector, and his photo and the photos and booklets about St Paul's.

Its membership is 700, which meets in temporary facilities at the new site. During lunch I had taken the opportunity to present Mrs. Zhang with a piece of stone-work from the construction walls of St Paul's. I said I thought she might be interested in having it, explaining that we had a variety of plaques in our church of stones obtained or gifted from churches around the world—mementos of our ties of Christian friendship. Mrs. Zhang mentioned that the Shuiyang District had several plans for a new building for The Christian Church, for an orphanage, for a senior citizens home and for something to help AIDS victims. Before I left Shangqiu Mrs. Zhang gave me a letter for our Toronto rector, requesting our assistance in helping to raise money for a new church building for The Christian Church and a proposal document...”
