Ernest Hemingway granted interview to reporters from the South China Morning Post and the Hong Kong Daily Press for their Monday editions.
South China Morning Post
"He is a good boxer, fine marksman and an excellent soldier. One of America's greatest living writers, Hemingway has already on his first visit to China made a host of friends. Every one who has met him has been impressed by the force of his personality and unaffected charm of manner. His wife [Martha Gellhorn], too, also a brilliant and competent journalist, has already become popular. She intends leaving for the interior of China soon on a special assignment."
