One's Company

One's Company: A Journey to China (London: Cape, 1934) is a travel book by Peter Fleming, correspondent for The Times, describing his journey day-by-day from London through Moscow and the Trans-Siberian Railway, then through Japanese-run Manchukuo, then on to Nanking, the capital of China in the 1930s, with a glimpse of “Red China”.

Fleming's Preface opens with a self-deprecating observation: The recorded history of Chinese civilization covers a period of four thousand years.
