Allen Agee Goodwyn was an active part of both the military and diplomatic scene in Mainland China for over 25 years. His early visits to Peking (pre revolution before being renamed Beijing) in the early 20’s and later again with General Marshall, and again, post WWII where he was requested to be an intermediary in the negotiations between then President Chan Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong prior to the cultural revolution of 1949. My Grandfather lived inside the old diplomatic quarter next to Tiemanian Square, famously known as the Peking Legation Quarter. In addition my Mother spent part of her early childhood in China with the family. Having grown up learning and understanding the Chinese culture, has made China a natural extension to my business career.”
