Though small in area, the territory occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is perhaps the most important and strategic section of China. It contains Shanghai, the greatest port and commercial center of China, Nanking, the new capital, Soochow, the cultural and educational center, Huchow, the silk city, and the important cities of Changchow, Sungkiang, and Wusih.

The condition of Sungkiang is typical of the state of affairs throughout this densely populated delta between Shanghai and Nanking, and testifies to what may have been one of the greatest mass migrations of population in history. No one is able to answer the question of what has happened to the hundreds of thousands, or rather millions, of Chinese who have literally disappeared from this area. The whole thirty-mile route between Shanghai and Sungkiang is like a desert, with rice crops ungathered and left rotting in the fields as far as I could see.

The streets of Shanghai rattled with revolutionary tremors as Chiang's armies came closer and closer. They entered Chekiang, his home province, and on February 17, 1927, took Hangchow and advanced to Kashing and Sungkiang. They were less than twenty-five miles from Shanghai.
