Chekiangese

Like Chou, Shao Yüan-ch'ung was from Chekiang. The three Chekiangese had had a long-standing association going back to the days of Chiang's association with Ch'en Ch'i-mei.

In Shanghai, where the alliance had established a central China bureau only three months earlier, its leader was Chen Chi-mei, a thirty-four-year-old Chekiangese who had studied police and military methods in Tokyo.
