Hogg’s single full-length monograph I See a New China (1943) is on the whole self-deprecating and sparing about his personal life and background. With the obliging escort of General Nie Rongzhen and his subordinates, he observed the work being undertaken in the liberated areas and was seized by the growing conviction that he should not only write reportage for overseas newspapers, but dedicate his daily life to mobilising the populace and vanquishing the Japanese foe. Chapter III of his book, entitled ‘New Hinterland’, traced the migration of refugees from Wuhan and beyond which left Baoji swamped and a fertile seedbed for pioneering cooperatives. After an effusive portrait of the local gung-ho “magistrate” Wang Fengrui and some notes on the Director Lu Guangmian1, Hogg was recruited to publicise and encourage nascent workshops producing oilcloth, shaving brushes, and all manner of merchandise to reclaim the domestic market from Japanese dominance.
