...mainland. Bureau Chief Roy Rowan, who chatted with Chou En-lai in Peking in 1973, began on-the-scene reporting of the Chinese civil war for LIFE in 1947. Rowan covered the conflict from the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's armies in Manchuria to the fall of Canton in 1949. Correspondent Bing W. Wong grew up on a small island off the coast of China's Fukien province, attended Amoy University and in 1950, as Communist control spread, left for Hong Kong, where he became one of the colony's most respected China analysts. When Radio...
...trustworthy. In fact, some "intelligence" about mainland activities published by Taiwan so perfectly fits its anti-Communist propaganda that it might have been manufactured by imaginative p.r. agents in Taipei. Stiil, Peking considers Taiwan's espionage serious enough to issue periodic warnings about the presence of spies. Recently Canton radio reported sabotage by a "scoundrel" in a gas plant and chastised the factory's deputy director for his lack of vigilance.

...Canton is hot enough so things close down in the afternoon, and it stays open later at night than most Chinese cities. So when I first realized I was lost there were lots of people out. But as I wandered in circles the streets became emptier, until at last there were just people who'd brought out mattresses to escape the heat and an occasional cart, collecting night-soil to take to the surrounding countryside. But I had a land-mark that kept me from getting more lost--a violinist, up on the fourth floor of the building I kept...
...were in Canton, all set for the long train ride through the bright green fields to Hong Kong the next day, and I went out for a last walk. Just walking--through streets, into stores, into parks, with their two-cent admission fees and another two cents to park your bicycle outside--was often one of the most interesting things to do. In Peking there had been Tien An Men Square, where the People's Republic was proclaimed on October 1, 1949--a gorgeous vast expanse of people chatting or walking in the summer evening.
