He also oversaw a team of translators who turned out a Chinese version of U.S. propaganda for distribution to local Chinese newspapers situated throughout southwest China. He was a night owl by nature. “ ‘Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man poor, foolish and dead’ is my preferred version of that particular adage,” my father once wrote.¹³ In Yung-an, he worked at night, and took naps during the day. He slept in a bedroll, fully clothed, the way the Chinese did, to stay warm. He roamed the local hills by himself, but he was not without companionship when he wanted it.
