To Light A Candle is a memoir written by Welthy Honsinger Fisher, chronicling her experiences as a relief worker in war-torn China during the mid-20th century. The book is divided into three parts, each detailing a different period of Fisher's life in China. In the first part, Fisher recounts her initial journey to China and her work with the YMCA in Shanghai. She describes the challenges she faced in adapting to Chinese culture and language, as well as the political turmoil and violence that surrounded her during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. The second part of the book focuses on Fisher's work with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in the aftermath of World War II. She describes her travels throughout China, working to distribute food and supplies to those in need, and the difficulties she faced in navigating the complex political landscape of post-war China. The final part of the book details Fisher's experiences during the Chinese Civil War and the Communist takeover of the country. She describes the dangers she faced as a foreigner in China during this tumultuous time, and the difficult decision she ultimately made to leave the country she had come to love. Throughout the book, Fisher reflects on the impact of her work in China and the lessons she learned about compassion, perseverance, and the human spirit. To Light A Candle is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal period in Chinese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
