When Rock first arrived in China, he made his headquarters in a small [[Naxi]] village near [[Lijiang]] in southwest China. There Rock discovered the Naxi priests, the Dongbas, and their religious [[wikipedia:pictographic|pictographic]] script. Rock was fascinated and over the years he compiled a dictionary of the script. When the [[Second World War]] broke out Rock refused to leave China, spending most of the war in Lijiang writing. Eventually Rock left Lijiang in 1944. On 5 December 1962, a month before the dictionary was published, Rock died of a heart attack in Honolulu surrounded by his beloved Naxi pictograms. |
