General Joseph Stilwell’s daughter Alison
Stilwell Cameron was born in Beijing in
1921 and learned Mandarin as her frst
language. Because of her father’s three tours
of duty in China, Alison spent much of
her youth in the country. In the 1930s,
they rented their home from the eminent
scholar and art historian Dr. John Ferguson,
who arranged for Alison to learn painting
and calligraphy from Pu Ru. It was Pu Ru
who gave Alison her Chinese name, Shi
Shenghua. During the year that Pu Ru
was in mourning and could not teach, he
arranged for her to study with Yu Fei’an.
Throughout the rest of her life, Alison
Cameron continued to paint, exhibit and
teach in the traditional Chinese style.
