Destination Chungking book review by Han Suyin
The review praises Destination Chungking as an engaging documentary and autobiography on prewar China. It outlines wartime air raids and escapes with a couple traveling with Chiang Kai-shek’s staff, notes bombings and travel, and mentions Chinese customs and ancestor worship. The reviewer endorses the work for readers curious about different customs yet shared ideas of equality and freedom.
