A Chinese-French mix, born and raised in Paris. Father, in the tea trade, brought back a wife from Wenzhou. The young idealist volunteered for a tour in the Spanish Civil War. After watching some friends get blown to bits, he wrote a novel about his experiences that was somewhat successful. Now he's a sort of Hemingway-esque figure, living life to the fullest, drinking hard and partying (he's relatively good-looking). Deciding to learn something of his Chinese heritage, hoping to get inspiration for a new book, and interested in goings-on in China (still somewhat of an idealist, although forever changed by the war), he takes a ship to Shanghai. Having arrived a week ago, he's got a room, deposited funds in the bank, done a little sight-seeing, and has begun the habit of hanging out at the Vienna Club. | A Chinese-French mix, born and raised in Paris.
