I'm wondering what happened to Mr Moody and his business when Mr Mao took over in 1949. [posted on: 2016/8/4 by BDC]

We knew that he was faster then the Japanese troops, escaped in 1941 and came back to USA.
Today we come a little closer but still no cigar. Be it his bouncebackability or the fact that he had something if not all to loose, howsoever, Mr. Moody returned to Shanghai after the war or he continued proceedings from afar. In 1947 he held the fort, don't know yet if personally or by help of representatives. At this time he was 55 years old (1892-1955). The telephone directory as well as the below shown abstract from the land register list his name and his considerable business.
But latest in Januar 1949 when the Red Chinese hordes swept everything away on their march through Manchuria it was time to pack up.
