Quite a fascinating man with such a full life. I see where Mark got his good looks and love of history.

I first met Mike, appropriately enough, though an exchange of letters, when he was working on Mandarins, Jews, and Missionaries. Later I met him in person when we came together to found the Sino-Judaic Institute.
