By Xing Yi | China Daily | Updated: 2017-03-24 07:16

A new biography sheds light on Sir Robert Hart's time in China as a customs official during the Qing Dynasty. Xing Yi reports.

By the time Sir Robert Hart left Beijing in 1908, he had been a top officer in China's customs for most of his adult life. Now, Ireland's Imperial Mandarin, a biography of Hart, looks at his life.

His biographer Mark O'Neill was at the launch of the book in Beijing on March 15. It was published in January.
