Dear Dr. Stearns,
Your letter realy means a great deal to me. Whenever I receive your letter it always make me very happy. If ever I think of America or my dear friends there you are always the first one that comes to my mind.
There is nothing I missed more than you and the good old Andover. It seemed very strange that I left Andover and you left too. I hope you will come to China to visit. When you come I will get all the Andover boys in China and we are going to have a good time.
Helen and my father are sending their best to you and your family.
Of course you have already knew that Tommy Le, who used to be a student in Andover, is now working with our Young Chang. He is pretty well known among the Andover Club of Lhina, in which you are highly worship.
Please let me hear from you when you have have time to write.
I remain, your good wisher.

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns,
Archmeadow,
Danvers, Mass.
U. S. A.
My dear Dr. Stearns,
I am at a loss as to how to express my heart-felt appreciation for your most kind and sympathetic letter which is just at hand. You have been so considerate concerning my health that your letter has been so far the best prescription to elevate the lingering ills of my sapping energies. I an happy to say that I am now a different man as compared with my precarious state during the most of last year when even walking without assistance was a novelty. Now, at times, I can risk coming down stairs or sometimes even a stroll in the garden. I hope to be completely well again in the not too distant future.
The book by Mr. Stimson was received with a thousand thanks. It is not often that one in this part of the world is privileged by a personal autograph from a man of his prominence. Its value, no doubt, is greatly enhanced, and with it my appreciation for your kind thoughts in going to such trouble. I might add that this very book has been translated and is now enjoying a sale such as no other work enjoyed. Mr. Stimson’s prestige in the Orient coupled with his traditional friendship for China has made him a stateman of infinite value during this troublous times, and it is the hope of most Oriental countries that he will again consent to be the pillar upon which peace and justice can be built.
We in the Far East are living under constant uncertainties which on the morrow may develop into a conflagration. There seems to be no limit to a lust that is characteristically Nippon. It is only because of a brewing crisis at home that the Japanese refrained from making worse a crisis on the Asiatic mainland. China has now learned to meet diplomacy with diplomacy and sword with sword. Realizing this state of affairs, Japan, who never before has engaged in any major conflict, took stock of their own strength and found it to be sadly lacking. As a consequence, North China is virtually an armed camp attempting to enforce armed truce as the only solution.
To Dr.Alfred E. Stearns, Page No.2, Tientsin 4th May 1937
It is difficult to foretell what is in store for the future. To dream of any semblance of peace and security will be too optimistic, but we are not pessimistic. When the time comes mere pessimism will be of no avail. The Western World’s material advance has given us a lesson, and we are now under no illusion as to our own strength. We have been philosophical since time immemorial and it is only because of our philosophy and spiritualism, tried through the ages, that we are surviving and even now prevailing. We have imported many things from the Occident, both good and bad. Some have blended with things Chinese remarkably, and some have failed miserably, but I have every confidence that there will be a time when the East will meet the West to such a degree that it will afford better conditions all around.
As regards my children, Arthur is still with the Municipal Government of Greater Shanghai and has been there through several Administrations which should speak well for his devotion to his work.
Tom is now attached to the China Insurance Company and is now in Shanghai. He wrote me some time ago that he has been delegated to write you on behalf of all the Former Andover Men in China and to present to you a scroll in appreciation of your untiring teachings. This, I hope, will convey to you the affection with which you are remembered in China.
Several days ago, I received a letter from Mr. William F. Flagg on the question of the Andover Teachers Fund. I have replied to him and enclosed a small contribution* I regret that during these depressing days my capabilities are limited, and I sincerely hope that it will not be long before I can again be of assistance.
Again, please accept my heart-felt thanks for your kind thoughts and remembrance, and I shall be deeply grateful if you will convey to Mr. Stimson my humblest appreciation. You gift with his autograph will be fondly treasured indeed.
My entire family joins me to send you and Mrs. Stearns our warmest greetings.
Most sincerely yours

25th December, 1937
My dear Dr. and Mrs. Stearns,
It is appropriate that I should write you on this day to convey to you the greetings of the season from My Father's entire family. This day is a significant one especially for those of us who had in years past shared the joys and happiness that only Christmas can imply. Those gatherings on Christmas Eve on Chapel Avenue have always lingered in my memory and now return most vividly. Such treasured recollection reminds us of the spirit of Yuletide, and, therefore, even years afterwards from across the sea this spirit is again alive in bidding you a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.
Father wrote me some time ago instructing me to make a purchase of a worthy gift for you for this occasion. The lateness of this letter and the dispatch of the gift under separate cover is due to the disturbed conditions in China with its consequential effects on the smooth functioning of postal services. I have chosen four pieces of silk embroidery which represent the finest of Chinese art, and your acceptance is solicitated as an expression of the esteem and appreciation held for you by my Father and his entire family. He wishes to be remembered to you most cordially and will write you separately from Tientsin bidding you good health and happiness.
My Father regrets for not being able to send you the gift himself and apologizes sincerely. As you can appreciate Tientsin has been beleaguered for some months and nothing worthy of the yule-tise season can be bought in that port. Therefore, he deputizes me the honor which I hope will not belittle his sincerity.
Christmas in China finds us under difficult circumstances. It is, however, gratifying to feel that you are enjoying the season under conditions ideally suited for the festivities.
My Father can not let this year pass without some reflections of its doings and undoings. In general fortune has been kind to his family, but even this blessing in the midst of disturbance is far from the desirable condition under which well intentioned people hopes to live. His Health has been,on the whole, good and is enjoying unusual vigor for a man of his age. He had sold his house on Hongkong Road and is now living at his new address at 103 Wellington Road, Tientsin. By next spring, should circumstances permit, he even hopes to migrate to the south, his birth-place. Arthur is still in Shanghai. His family is again visited by fate in the form of the loss of another son. He has one now. Mary is still in Peiping. As for myself, I am, as you can see, still in Shanghai in my old position.
Those of us who owe you so much hopes that this coming year will bring you an additional measure of happiness and good health. My Father feels certain that your well-earned rest is a source of joy and contentment to you when you can devote your time to the welfare of those less fortunate. He wishes you long life and happiness and strength and that the future be one of abundance and plenty. Arthur, Mary, and myself join him in sending to you and Mrs. Stearns our heart-felt greetings of the Season.
Most sincerely yours

31st December, 1937
My dear Dr. Stearns,
I must apologize for my failure to answer your very good letter dated the 9th April. Soon after receipt of your letter, however, I wrote to Mr. Flagg enclosing my small contribution, which, I hope, however slight, will in some measure express my deep attachment to the school. I only wish that I could see my way to give more, but in view of the circumstances prevailing I am obliged to postpone my wishes till things become easier.
Your suggestion that a contribution from the China group be solicitated is an admirable one, and on this respect I have already written to both Arthur and Tom who will eventually correspond with you. But in view of the disturbed condition under which they are living, I am afraid that even if they do succeed to induce other former Andover to contribute it must necessarily be small in comparison with the undoubtedly large gifts you must be receiving.
Some time ago, I wrote to Tommy asking him to purchase for me an appropriate gift for you as an expression of my esteem. Since then, although some weeks have elapsed due to the disturbed condition of postal services, I have heard from him that he had already mailed to you four pieces of silk embroidery. I beg your acceptance of these gifts, and I think it is only appropriate that I should at this time, however late, send remembrances to the most cherished of my friends. It is my fervent hope that this Yuletide Season and the New Years will be a happy one for both you and Mrs. Steams and that the future be one of contentment and. happiness. I have no doubt that
the peaceful surroundings where you are spending the holidays are ideal for a man who so deserves his rest, and that these surroundings be symbolic of the state of your spirits. Therefore, please accept my most sincere greetings for a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
The past year has been kind to me. Although buffeted by illness of a minor nature periodically, I am now enjoying good health and am able to be about as usual. I have been successful dur-
this year to sell my house and am now living at the above address. Next spring, should circumstances permit, I even hope to venture south for either another visit or permanent establishment in the land of my birth.
All of my children weathered the year in the usual way except for Arthur who had the misfortune of losing another son leaving him now but one. It was a blow to all of us, but as fate desires, there is little that we can do. However, Arthur himself is still in good health and is remaining in Shanghai as is Tommy. Mary is still in Peiping.
My entire family join me to wish you a most happy New Year and hope that with the years you will find abundance and contentment in deserved reward for a life devoted to the welfare of others of whom my family is the greatest debtor.
Believe me,
Most sincerely yours

You have probably read in the papers the unimaginable fantasy that is taking place here every day. Bombings of women and children, killing of innocent civilians, and the ravage of the greatest industrial center in China – Shanghai. Three of these bombings I escaped miraculously only to find sights too horrible to relate. Perhaps the most poignant of which is the young mother about to give birth. She died because she was torn by bomb fragments. The babe fell out and died a few minutes later. A refugee train was bombed killing three hundred women and children who patiently awaited the train which will take them to points of alleged safety. It is here that the tragic mother met her death. Three greatest centers of traffic, business and shopping, were bombed killing a total of one thousand. Canton suffered to the extent of about three thousand when the Japanese made sudden raids. Tientsin was massacred with gasoline poured on houses and then set on fire. All those who dared escape the flames were machined-gunned. Schools, colleges, and universities wore thoroughly and systematically razed to the ground. If this be war, the ape man is a civilization in itself.
However, we are not complaining because we know well the capabilities of the Japanese who are neighbors. But instead we are fighting although back to the wall. In the heart of every Chinese the hatred for the Japanese is deeply rooted which will never mellow with the years but will be inflamed by the most outrageous acts of mankind which have destroyed our homes, separated our loved ones, and shaken our confidence in peaceful pursuits. To the man we are ready, and should we be called to the colors the response will be overwhelming. All are ready to make the supreme sacrifice, and it will be only over the dead bodies of all able bodied Chinese that the Japanese will be able to rule. Then what will be in the victory?
The will to fight has inflamed the entire population from the highest to the most humble and from the oldest to the youngest, because we all realize that we are fighting to safeguard our principles, our nation, our existence and our civilization. We are up against primitive savagery hitherto undreamed of, but we are prepared - desperately prepared.
In our hour of stress, we look across the ocean to America for support and assistance. The bonds of friendship between the two great peoples have been traditional and is a bye word in the peace among the nations. We do not hope for the American boys to fight by our sides. Nothing is further from our minds. But why such aloofness? Why such rigid interpretation of the neutrality act? I had the happy experience of spending eleven constructive years in the states, and I quite appreciate the feelings of the people against war. But we also hate war. When it is forced upon us, however, we have no alternative but to defend our homes and hearth. The neutrality helps no one but the Japanese, and by no stretch of the imagination can I allow my mind to become convinced that the Americans are friends of the horde of primitive savages

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal,
Phillips Andover Academy,
Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
My dear Dr. Stearns:
Your kind letter dated March 2 has been received long ago. Had it not been for the fact that I have been trying to find out what has been the matter with the Kung's family, of which matter you have given me a good detailed account, and about which you have asked me; I should have answered you earlier. I have written once to Dr. Sing Ming Kung asking for an explanation of this matter; but there has been no answer. Then I went to Tong Shan Road, trying to find the house as you have given me in your letter. However, I could not find it, although I have quite a few friends living on that same street. I was trying to go over there again. But recently I have been very busy with the examination papers at the closing of the different schools. Then I shall also take a trip to my native city Changsha in the inland part of China, and I have been busy with the preparation for this trip. I am going to start tonight from Shanghai, and shall be back in two months time. Evidently I shall not be able to go again to find the kung’s family before my departure from here. However, I assure that as soon as I get back, I shall try my best to locate them. I know An Tung personally to some extent; this boy is rather careless in many of his actions. It is by no means right for him to keep silence after his departure from Andover. You have been only too kind to them brothers, just as you have always been to all the Chinese students with whom you happen to come into contact. He should know your anxiety for them. I really do not understand what has been the matter with them. I hope, however, that you might have heard from them by this time in seme way or other. Please let me know whether you have heard from them at all in the interval since you wrote me. In the meantime, I shall keep this matter in mind all the time. I am wondering, also, how much altogether does the family owe you.
Regarding myself, I should say I have not made very much progress in the last year. I am still in the educational field although I prefer much to enter into diplomatic service. I taught in three different schools last year, and the work has been satisfactory so far. For next year I shall teach in Fuh Tan University and Chi-Nan Institute. As I said before, I shall be back to Shanghai before the end of August for next year's work.I hope to write you in more details and with better news later on.
Assuring you of my sincerest wish for the prosperity of the school and the success of your own work.
Very sincerely yours,
C.C.Yu
