Interviews: Rewi Alley; Trudy Rosenberg, 1980.

Interviews: F. McCracken Fisher; Ruth Weiss; George Hatem; Rewi Alley; Xiao Qian. For Edgar Snow, see his memoir, Journey to the Beginning (New York, 1958), and Snow to Nym Wales, June 4, 1939, in Nym Wales's personal possession. On the December Ninth movement a standard work in Chinese is Yier jiu yundong shi (Beijing, 1980); see pp. 16-17 for reference to Smedley. Xiao Qian remembers meeting Smedley as »Mrs. Brown« at the Snows' apartment.

Interview, George Hatem; see also his »American Childhood, Chinese Maturing,« China Reconstructs 33, no. 10 (October 1984): 26-29, and note in Beijing Review 28, no. 28 (July 1985): 5, and his »On Agnes Smedley,« Voice of Friendship, no. 12 (August 1985): 11-12. In the 1980s Hatem still lived in Beijing as a grandfather with near-ministerial rank in the Ministry of Health. He has a legendary reputation, especially for his part in the campaign to eradicate venereal disease during the early 1950s.

Interview with Liu Ding. Smedley spent much time and money in 1935 and 1936 helping various fugitives escape Guomindang assassins or firing squads. Another example was Lu Xun's request that Smedley smuggle out a politically progressive painter, Hu Man (Wang Junchu) who was wanted by the Guomindang Blueshirts. Like Chen Hansheng, Hu was smuggled onto a Russian freighter bound for Vladivostok. See Nym Wales Collection, ms. on painters and Lu Xun; also interview with Mao Dun.

Interviews: Rewi Alley, Chen Hansheng; also Alley, Six Americans in China, p. 128; and Shanghai wenshi ziliao xuanji, p. 140. In 1978 the authors found that Smedley's physical movements in Shanghai could be traced with surprising precision. This was possible because the old French concession area where Smedley lived is still mostly intact and because recent Chinese investigations into Smedley's whereabouts have been meticulous, to the point of uncovering the majority of her old addresses (our source was interviews with Ge Baochuan).

Interview with Frank Glass and Grace Cook; China Weekly Review, August 3, p. 348; August 31, p. 488; and September 7, 1935, p. 2. See Liening shenghuo 34 (February 18, 1934): 4 for the changing Chinese Communist view of China Forum.
