About this ebook

The Chinese Ginger Jars is a bright and intimate portrait of the adventures, trials, and achievements of an American housewife who lived through dangerous days in modern China.

When Myra Scovel arrived in Peking in 1930 with her medical missionary husband and infant son, China was a land steeped in an ancient culture, mellow as the smooth cream ivory of its curio shops, relaxed as the curves of a temple roof against the sky. Twenty-one years later—as the Scovels were forced to leave China by the Communists—it was a country of fear, of terror, of hatred toward the foreigner. The dramatic events that transformed China are recounted here from the fresh and poignant viewpoint of an extraordinary American wife and mother.

Author

Myra Scovel

Myra Scovel and her husband were overseas missionaries for the United Presbyterian Church for almost 30 years. They were assigned to the Bachman Hunter Hospital in Tsining, Shantung, China in 1930 until their repatriation in 1943. This was followed by two further assignments between 1946-1948 in Anhwei and Canton, where they briefly remained following the Communists’ victory. They returned to the United States in early 1951.
