...times he traveled over roads that were cut through beds of coal, with great chunks of shining anthracite used for fence rocks. Sometimes his path was a rushing muddy stream, over whose slippery rocks he had to pick his way. This precarious route, he found, was the lifeline of Chinese Armies. He passed numberless coolies, struggling and crawling with animal patience through the mountain gaps, overloaded with blankets, clothes, grenades, machine guns, rifles, cartridges, medical supplies, telephone wire; braying mules, struggling under dismantled bits of artillery; sick soldiers straggling from the front; stretchers jogged over the painful ways; beggars keening...

He traveled (and slept) in a caravan consisting of a trailer towed by a small coupe. Unlike his brother and successor on the throne, who was kept well back and whose trail he did not cross, he visited the foremost zones.
