Kuling : Interview with Chiang Kai-shek
"He came into the room quickly and stood quite still, looking at us. He wore a dark blue gown and carried in one hand a scroll, evidently part of the agenda of his conference… His eyes were the most remarkable thing about him. They were large, handsome and very keen. His glances had a thrusting and compelling quality which is very rare in China… As a rule contact with the great brings out the worst in me… But before Chiang Kai-shek I retired abashed."
