To the vast majority of readers of the contemporary treaty port press, the banditry accompanying China’s early twentieth-century attempts to transform itself into a modern nation confirmed their long-held assumption of the impossibility of such a transformation ever happening. For a tiny minority of them, however, banditry was more than a titillating, sometimes shocking read. These were the “foreign tickets,” men and women whose fate it had been to fall into the hands of one of these gangs and be held as an “insurance” ticket against whatever it was that that particular gang was demanding.
