I started this history blog to celebrate my late father, Herbert Bingham Mead. He served in the U.S. 1st Marine Division in China 1945-1946. His wish was for me to research and publish a book on those extraordinary days when he and his comrades were stationed in Tianjin and Beijing, China. Today we salute the service and bravery of those extraordinary men -and the people of China who endured and befriended them. Semper Fi!

Chinese New Year 1946
Earlier this year an article I wrote about my father's first Chinese New Year in the post-World War II world was published in Hawaii Reporter. My thanks to Malia Zimmerman. Go to this link for the article and photos taken by my father.
The movie features photos taken by my father on Chinese New Year 1946. The scenes feature local Chinese residents in costume in stilts. I am reading the text of the article.
