"In Red and Gold" by Samuel Merwin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the context of early 1911, it explores the lives and interactions of a diverse cast of characters aboard a river steamer navigating the complexities of early revolutionary China. The narrative begins with a group of white passengers, including the significant figure of American millionaire Dawley Kane and his son, Rocky, as they embark on a journey fraught with cultural contrasts and underlying tensions brought on by the impending revolution. The opening portion introduces the setting and atmosphere aboard the steamer "Yen Hsin" as it departs from Shanghai, painting a vivid picture of the bustling port and the passengers settling into their new environment. Among the travelers are various figures, such as Miss Andrews, a sensitive woman unsure of her place among the men, and a mysterious girl in a middy blouse who captures the attention of the young Rocky Kane. Tension builds as discussions around the transitioning political landscape and the different social strata within the ship hint at deeper themes of identity, privilege, and the impending revolutionary waves affecting China at that time. The narrative deftly intertwines personal stories with historical realities, setting the stage for a tale of growth and conflict in a rapidly changing world.
