wushijiao Posted June 1, 2005 at 06:53 AM Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 at 06:53 AM An old hand, Israel Epstein died today. As far as I know, he was the only foreigner to meet Mao, Deng, Jiang and Hu. I read about half of his book before moving on to other things. Quite an interesting guy. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-06/01/content_447510.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted June 1, 2005 at 07:36 AM Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 at 07:36 AM IIRC, Epstein came to China at age 2 as a stateless Jew and spent his whole life here, as a Chinese national, so I hesitate calling him a 'foreigner'. An interesting life nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
