In 1954, eighteen years before Nixon's momentous visit to China, scores of European delegations set off for Beijing, in response to Prime Minister Chou EnLai's invitation to "come and see" the New China and to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Communist victory. In this delightfully eclectic bookpart comedy, part travelogue, and part cultural historyPatrick Wright tells the story of the remarkable Britons who made this journey, including former Prime Minister Clement Attlee; dapper and selfimportant philosopher A. J. Ayer; the brilliant young artistreporter Paul Hogarth; poet and novelist Rex Warner (a former Marxist who had just married a Rothschild); and the infuriatingly selfobsessed Stanley Spencer, who emerges as the unlikely hero of the story. Using a host of previously unpublished letters and diaries, Wright captures the impressionsboth mistaken and genuinely insightfulof the delegates as they wandered behind the bamboo curtain. Full of comic detail, this book is also a study of China as it has loomed in the British mind: as both the primitive orient of early western philosophy and the alluring site of revolutionary transformation.
