Rockhill's name, once almost forgotten except in connection with the US' "Open Door Policy" for China, is once more on people's lips because of his long association with China.

And increased academic studies and the emergence of historical documents from the early 1950s have gradually pieced together a more complete picture of the American who closely tied his life to China.
