description: Among the many crucial moments of Chinese history, the Nanking incident of March, 1927, marked a turning point in the political complexion of modern China is Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops stormed the city of Nanking. It's resultant subjugation led to the unification of the Chinese national party, and missionary Paul Quimby found himself trapped in Nanking during the explosive upheaval. Later the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek asked for three Seventh-day Adventist missionaries to help them establish an educational program built according to the Adventist blueprint. The Far East Division of hte church didn't have three persons to spare, but as D. E. Rebok recalls, it recommended instead "one man who could do the work of three men - and that was none other than Dr. Paul E. Quimby." Yankee on the Yangtze relates in vivid detail several highlights from Paul Quimby's experiences in mainland China - many of them occurring while he was located in the environs of the famous Yangtze River.
