Harrison Forman Diary China, January-May 1942
No full textThis diary written by Harrison Forman begins on January 10, 1942, just one month after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the United States, meanwhile, the Second Sino-Japanese War continues in China. On horseback, Forman rides through the deserted streets of Changsha (capital of Hunan province, southeastern China) and reports civilians returning home as the Japanese retreat to the north. Forman travels to Hongshan where he witnessed the cremated remains of Japanese soldiers. On January 11, 1942, Forman interviews Jsueh Yueh (Xue Yue), the Chinese Nationalist General and Commander-in-Chief responsible for the victories over the Japanese at the Second and Third Battles for Changsha. General Xue Yue explained the tactics which contributed to success. Forman then travels the Hsiang River by boat, then by train to Hengyang (south central Hunan province, 110 miles south of Changsha, seat of the Nationalist Party military government) and Kwielin (now Guilin) in the northeastern Zhuang Autonomous region of Guangxi southern China. Forman describes supply trucks arriving from Linchow (now Lanzhou) delivering goods for soldiers and civilians. According to Forman, merchants had begun to stockpile goods after the fall of I-ch’ang (now Yichang, an area heavily bombed and taken by the Japanese Army in 1940) and in fear of fighting in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)). Forman mentions Kunming in southwestern China, where the U.S. Major General Claire L. Chennault, founder of the volunteer air squadron the Flying Tigers, were guarding against the Japanese forces. Chinese Nationalist Government officials are mentioned, such as T.S. Tsiang (Tsiang Tingfu, historian and diplomat), Wang Wen-hao (Weng Wen-ho, geologist, educator, and Minister of Economy, 1938-1947), and Wu Ting-chang (Wu Dingchang, Minister of Economic Affairs, 1935). Other notable figures mentioned are, Feng Yachsiang (Feng Yuxiang, Christian General and Chiang Kai-shek supporter), Quo Tai-chi (Dr. Quo Tai-chi, first Chinese representative to Britain, 1932-1940; named foreign minister by Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, 1941), Kenji Doihara (“Lawrence of Manchuria,” general of Imperial Japanese Army who invaded Manchuria), Emily “Mickey” Hahn (journalist and author), and Charles Boxer (local head of the British Army Intelligence). Forman follows Wendell L. Willkie, U.S. Republican presidential candidate (opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt), on his trip to China and mentions a list of notable figures, such as Chu Shao-liang (Zhu Shaoliang, general in the National Revolution Army of the Republic of China), Hu Tsung-nan (Hu Zongnan, trusted general of Chiang Kai-shek), Captain Chiang Wei-kuo, Generals Shi Liang-yu, Li Chen-shen, Chang Tso-lin (Zhang Zuolin, warlord of Manchuria, defeated by the Nationalist Kuomintang in 1928), and Hsu Liang-yo. Forman ends his diary at the close of Willkie’s visit, writing about his press colleagues, Francis Lee and Peter Kiang. He tells of the story “Phanton Legions” in the London Daily Express, written by Tommy Chao.The diaries are part of the Harrison Forman Papers 1931-1974 housed at the Special Collections & University Archives, University of Oregon Libraries.
