South Australian author Charles Cooper, a veteran of Gallipoli, wrote for The Bulletin and other newspapers on his return to Australia. During this time he also wrote seven novels of which four were entirely set in China. His fiction was fast paced and written for the popular market making his decision to write positively about upper class Chinese and interactions between Asia and the West all the more influential and important. Although the characters are stereotypical by today's standards he was a leader in projecting a more positive image of Chinese people than was common at the time.
