Welcome to the Legacy of Fu Bingchang

ENTER SITE

The diarist and diplomat, Fu Bingchang, Foo Ping-sheung 傅秉常 (1896-1965) must surely be counted as one of China's most charming and charismatic personalities of the 20th century. Enter here and you will find, in their original form, the entire collection of Fu's written legacy; his 22 diaries, his "News of the Day" reports, important cablegrams, and numerous associated personal papers. The first diary entry takes place when Fu is in China, on his way to Chongqing, 10 November, 1939. His last and final entry is written in Taiwan on 14 July, 1965, just two weeks before his death from a heart attack.
