Summary "Held by Chinese Brigands" by Captain Charles Gilson is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Hennessy K. Waldron, an American traveler, and his companions, Sir Thomas Armitage and his nephew Frank, who embark on an expedition in China. Their journey leads them into peril when they fall into the hands of the notorious brigand leader, Cheong-Chau, who demands a hefty ransom for their freedom. The opening of the book introduces the enchanting beauty of Hong-Kong Harbour, contrasting it sharply with the dark and dangerous world of Chinese banditry. Mr. Waldron is depicted as a jovial and somewhat reckless character, eager to explore the mysteries of China. As they begin their journey, a sense of impending doom looms as they encounter the treacherous underbelly of society represented by pirates and criminals, notably Cheong-Chau and his band. The reader is drawn into a rich narrative that illustrates the vibrancy of the setting while setting the stage for the unfolding drama of capture, negotiation, and the quest for survival against formidable odds.
