Exploring Tianjin's former British concession district and its legacy

Tianjin, a city today I hold with deep passion. Before coming to China 37 years ago, I knew nothing about the city. A situation unfortunately due to a devoid of information about the China within our educational curriculum. Returning recently to Scotland I remain saddened by this continual lack of knowledge. To generate an interest in Tianjin I would mention Paris 1924 Olympic Gold Medalist, Eric Liddell, known as the 'Flying Scotsman'. Born in Tianjin, he attended the University of Edinburgh before eventually returning to China. Liddell spent the remainder of his life in China, the country that he loved.
