badanov - before we were married the wife and I visited a old china missionary who was born in Hubei.
The wife saw some rare caligraphy on his wall and asked about it...
Just before the fall of China he and the wife were in Hong Kong. He
knew the communist cadre boss in Hubei and the boss told him to come
back and run his hospital, school and mission.
He went back. After about 2 weeks the boss told him he had to get out.
The die hard communists from Hunan were comming and planned to kill him
too. So the university there gave him the caligraphy to get out of the
country and he got on the last train out of Hubei. Literally ON.. It
was packed full of the family and relatives of a complete Nationalist
Army. (Not division but Army)...
The army pledged to defend to the death their families on the train and
did. Both sides had huge battles on both sides of the track with
communist human wave attack and the whole bit.
He said by the time they got to Shanghai the ditchs on either side of the train were running a foot and a half deep in blood.
No reporters knew of the battle.
