The product of his trip was these short or long "materials" that could have been written into novels, which were concatenated into "a set of narratives of his trip to China"; In 1922, when Maugham was achieving great success as a playwright, short story and novelist, and even a socialite, he put it all aside and embarked on a long and arduous trip to Southeast Asia.
