There's an interesting passage in your mother's book (page 250) that lends insight into China's pent-up demand for new construction. During the waning days of the short-lived Wuhan government (1926-1927), your father helped Zhou Enlai hide out in the former German concession... Bishop Roots put his guest in an attic connected with the rest of the house by a movable ladder. He left them after he had told Zhou to sleep in peace; he would tell a servant to remove the ladder later that night. Zhou thanked him and said that he liked the attic room, which brought back memories of Paris. "I have a view," Zhou explained pleasantly, looking out a window. In the gathering gloom, a corner of an ancient pavilion could be seen through the foliage. Not far from it was a modern office building much taller than the one-storied houses close by, the light glinting off its glass. Zhou turned to Jack and said it had suddenly occurred to him that some day many such building would replace those pavilions. That would be the modernization previous generations had given their lives for, and that they, themselves, were prepared to die for.
