		She is especially attentive to Alley's self-promotion through the ideologically-inflected international relations of the Cold War and through the upheavals of the PRC and its brand of "smiling diplomacy".
		She does to Alley's inflated reputation, what sinologists like Simon Leys have done to the laughable idea that Mao was a great helmsman (even Alley, by the way, had the decency to think Mao "a prick" for persecuting his old comrades-in-arms).
		Alley's apotheosis in China as the preeminent model foreigner came in the 1980s after Deng Xiaoping spoke at a banquet endorsing the example of the octogenarian Alley who had been unquestioningly loyal to the CCP.

		Alley’s family was split up when his boys decided to fight with the communists against the Japanese and in Shanghai he faced the problem of dealing with hundreds of thousands of unemployed and displaced factory workers in a fierce and chaotic war-zone.
		Alley arrived with a suitcase and a slogan in the then capital of China, Wuhan to sell the idea to the Chinese Government, and gained the support of writers W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood (who were in China to write a book on the war) and also the British Ambassador.
		Alley’s honorary title of headmaster of Shandan School was revoked, his house was raided by Red Army agents, and as part of sweeping changes the ‘anti-old’ campaign harshly criticised the work Alley had done translating the old Chinese poets.

		In Ypres, France, Rewi Alley and a mate sneaked under the wire for a trip to town on a bleak night in 1917.
		Rewi writes of children in a silk factory: "They’d be standing for twelve hours at a time over boiling vats with red swollen fingers and their eyes inflamed, in rooms so full of steam that in summer I found standing in them even for a few minutes unbearable.
		Alley because he was in China from 1927 to 1989, a considerable period of time and, unlike New Zealanders at home, didn’t fear the "yellow peril." He was an outlaw because of his support for the Communist revolution and presence at Chou En Lai’s side.

	Rewi Alley - Kids - Christchurch City Libraries
		Rewi Alley's parents were Frederick James Alley, a schoolmaster, and Clara Maria Buckingham, who was involved in the temperance and women's rights movement (see Kate Sheppard).
		Rewi was brought up to work hard and respect education, but when he went to Christchurch Boys' High School, he did not do particularly well in his studies.
		Rewi Alley's work with the ordinary Chinese out in the countryside was well thought of in China because he encouraged the idea of working together for the good of the people, an important part of Communist beliefs.

		Alley, who already has two Emmys under her belt for best actress in comedy ("Cheers") and drama ("David's Mother") was up for playing the crazy daughter in "The Last Don." Rigg apparently was just a little crazier.

		Of course, it goes without saying that Rewi Alley, the esteemed teacher of Gung Ho and an “old Youxie resident” who lived in this compound for over 30 years, was the main driving force for Gung Ho revival.
		Rewi Alley’s Gung Ho dream was like a tiny cooperative seed submerged by the overwhelming tidal waves of the “Great Leap Forward” and the unprecedented “cultural revolution” of the 1950s-70s.
		Visitors hosted by Youxie and friends of Rewi Alley were impressed and happy to see in Alley’s former residence a group of new Gung Ho volunteers committed to work conscientiously for furthering Gung Ho.

	University News - Communications and Development - University of Canterbury
		Friend of China – The Myth of Rewi Alley examines how Alley became iconised in his own life-time and a symbol of wide-ranging political objectives in both his adopted and native countries.
		For example, the myth was that he never married because of a failed love affair; in reality, Shanghai gave him the freedom to explore his homosexuality with other expatriates and the Chinese.
		Brady also looks at the contrast between Alley’s personal beliefs and those he publicly exposed, and his reasons for going to China - to be a mercenary - which is completely left out of the other biographies on him.
