My old man was in the task force that rescued Nationalist Chinese in 46.
The Marines were holding the docks and commies were dropping arty into the city. People took priority and they were only allowed limited luggage.
If Chinese could take it with them, they sold cheap or threw it in the drink.
I’m pretty sure we took some causalities from commies in that operation.
I also remember OM talking about bootlegged gold. It was bringing big price in
China because it was a way to save some wealth and portable. For those fleeing communist.
