Published in 1945 and a tale of young Dane who travels to China to see his father and get away from home. The author blends his budding career as a wartime correspondent reporting from China all the way to Finland for short Russo-Finnish war and many stops between.
Romance with a Chinese student while attend university in Peking develops despite fierce familial resistance.
This story develops when such relationships were taboo for great many in the world and some of the situations are shared here.
For me, meeting a Chinese woman only 25 years after this book, and now being married for over 40 years, I could see great deal of truth in this book and appreciated the author's efforts.
Research the author if you do read the book to see where they go including his wife's efforts as an author in Denmark that include her side of their relationship written as My Casanova many years later.

My Chinese Wife was originally published in 1945 and is based on the experiences of the author during the Second World War. Karl and Chi-yun Eskelund’s marriage got off to a decidedly rocky start given that the world around them – indeed the entire world - had erupted, or was just about to, into all out conflict. In that backdrop they were thrust into and navigated a perilous world ultimately making their way to freedom and safety.
