In his new book, Never Too Late: A 90-Year-Old’s Pursuit of a Whirlwind Life (Lyons Press), Roy Rowan—a career correspondent for Life, Time, and Fortune and the author of nine books, including Chasing the Dragon: A Veteran Journalist’s Firsthand Account of the 1946-1949 Chinese Revolution (a forthcoming motion picture)—reveals “the pleasures and potentials of old age,” recounting his years as a soldier serving in WWII and as a journalist covering Mao’s revolution and later the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold Wars. Below, Rowan looks back on a chance meeting in Shanghai in December 1947 that he regards as “the single most important and unexpected encounter in my life.” Listen to the podcast after the jump.
