    About this ebook

    An enthusiastic history of rampant Cantonese piracy in the 1930s, this first-hand account follows globetrotting journalist Aleko E. Lilius as he sets out to infiltrate mysterious pirate gangs. Describing every detail of the reporter's life as he eats, sleeps, and sails with murderous gangs, this recollection chronicles the rapport between Lilius and South China's notorious pirate queen, Lai Choi San. Including the harrowing misdeeds witnessed on Lilius's journey, this record is a sensational, adventurous tale.
