Combining the keen eye of an anthropologist with the skill of a historian, this colorful volume records Reginald F. Johnston's experience as a colonial official in Weihaiwei more than sixty years ago. Johnston paints a detailed picture of the rich fabric of life in Weihaiwei--the customs, social structure, family life, religion, law, and history--at a time before the region was transformed by Western influences and Chinese reformers.
