This map traces the Chinese advertising agent  林振彬 Lin Zhenbin (alias C.P. Ling)'s  biographical itinerary, from his birth in Fuzhou (1896), to education in the United States (Columbia University) and his return in China and founding of his own advertising agency (China Commercial Advertising Agency) in Shanghai in 1926, to his escape in Hongkong in 1941.

Yet this map lacks mobility. Even though each location is associated to a date - in an attempt to put into practice P. Ethington's proposal to "place the past" (Ethingon, 2007 : 465-493), as well as the equivalence made by him and Casey (Casey, 2007 : 510) between places and events - this map fails to trace actors's movements across space and time. Moreover, it loses the "sense of place" (Casey, 2007: 511) - that is, lived space - by reducing human experience to mere dots dispatched on the abstract and rational space of the map.
