The attached graphs offer various ways of visualizing the distribution of Chinese Rotarians' provincial origins (place of birth). Data comes from the series of Who's Who available through the Integrated Information System on Modern and Contemporary Characters (IISMCC) hosted by the Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History. The tables used for building the graphs are available in the "Tables" Section. 

The distribution of members’ provincial origin reveals a clear pattern of geographical proximity. Most Chinese Rotarians in Shanghai came from Jiangsu (19 members, 33%, among whom 13 were born in Shanghai proper) or the bordering provinces of Zhejiang (11 members, 19%) and Guangdong (10 members, 10%). Ten members, however, came from more remote regions, namely Hubei (3), Hebei (2), Jiangxi (2), Fujian (2). Five were born abroad, in Singapore, Australia, Canada, and two in the United States. Overall, our analysis is consistent with previous studies of Westernized Chinese, which have demonstrated that the large majority of American-trained Chinese, more specifically, were originally from Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
