€˜May you not live in interesting times€™ is a Chinese blessing. William Stenhouse Hamilton was an officer of the Australian embassy at Nanjing (then known as Nanking, and the national capital of China) from may 1947 to october 1949. it was the time of the great transition from the rule of Chiang Kai-Shek to Mao Tze-Tung, from an addled self-styled nationalist peoples party government (the Kuomintang) to a communist government immured, at least initially, in a one-size-fits-all international dogma. This work is not a comprehensive history of China, but rather a collection of local snapshots, charmingly lit by personal impressions from the past. the work is illuminated by a striking set of photos from the comprehensive collections of the National Library of Australia.
