China's treaty ports were outposts of Western civilization to some and agents of foreign oppression to others. The ports were an unavoidable fact of life for foreigners in China, as well as for the Chinese who lived and traded in them. This anthology presents a combination of fiction, letters, verse, and anecdotes to dramatically resurrect a unique passage in China's opening to the outside world.
