He won several important battles, but was relieved of command in 1947 and later captured and held as a POW by the Communists for a decade. His successful ‘re-education’ led him to live out the rest of his life with a position as an official historian in the Communist Government until his death in 1981.Mr Martin ran the Kunming branch of the Press Attache’s office of the British Embassy in China. This ostensibly focused on translating pieces from the Chinese press involving economics and politics, but was also part of a wider Allied network collecting intelligence and organising supplies through the region.Yuan Yunyi was a female painter and playwright for the Peking Opera. She was the second wife of artist Pang Xunqin, founding member of the Storm Society who aimed to bring a Parisian-style art world to China, and published a biography of him in 1995. Mid-20th century China was in a state of flux. The end of monarchical rule in 1912 was followed by the establishment of the Republic of China. However the power struggles continued between Nationalists and Communists, which led to civil war, and were exacerbated by the Japanese invasion and World War II. The British and Americans worked alongside the Nationalist (KMT) government under Chiang Kai-shek against the Communists and Japanese.The Chong Yang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) takes place on the auspicious date of the 9th day of the 9th month.
