THE JEWS IN CHINA
犹太人在中国為传播生版社
This paperback from China Intercontinental Press presents the colourful history of the Jews of China.
The author has done invaluable work to trace the story of the presence of Jews in China during important periods of Chinese history.
This is a fascinating chapter of history and deserves the careful scholarship he has brought to his work. I congratulate him on the appearance of this new edition of The Jews in China.

The publishing of the second edition of the book The Jews in China in Chinese and English is, undoubtedly, the proof of the growing interest in the history of the Jews, Prof. Pan Guang, on the occasion of this additional achievement on the road that he has chosen to walk for so many years already.
Three generations of wanderers found a warm and nurturing welcome in the great land of China. One sees in the pages of this book that countless Jews were permitted to thrive and were treated with respect. This can be seen today in the devotion of the State Council - and therefore of the Chinese government at the highest levels - to disseminate the historical record of Jewish immigration through a book graced by outstanding reportage, a moving assemblage of photographs and beautiful printing, paper and design. ...Today's China is changing at a rate unprecedented in human history, but, to our eyes, its people remain welcoming to "friends of China" and we will always be grateful for the friends we have made who have treated us like members of the Chinese family.

It is exceptionally important that Pan Guang's book The Jews in China is to have a new edition. This book is not only a pioneer in its field but a comprehensive absorbing story. The history of the Jews of China deserves to be widely known. There can be no better way to such knowledge than this superbly illustrated
