Isabel Crook has spent decades in China closely observing major events.
The 101-year-old Chinese-born Isabel Crook is among the country's early foreign educators.
In her long years here, first as a child of a Canadian missionary family in Southwest China's Sichuan province, and then as a teacher, Crook has witnessed many events: the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45), the civil war, the founding of New China, the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) and China's reforms since the '70s.
