In the twentieth century, China underwent a monumental dynastic
change and was transformed from an outmoded monarchy into a modern
communist state. This century of revolutionary change was marked by
political upheaval and social chaos. It was a period in which
Chinese began to go abroad to study and conduct business while
foreigners came to China for economic opportunity and adventure. In
the process, Chinese and foreigners began to meet and form romantic
relationships. These love affairs (fengliu yunshi 風流韻事) are
notable because they coincided with the last phase of Western
imperialism, including its lingering racial prejudices and even
laws against interracial sexual relationships. Conversely in China,
there were periodic outbreaks of hostility and violence against
foreigners. This book explores the interracial relationships of
twenty-two people who, transcended these obstacles to cross color
lines and fall in love.
