Memoirs of Timothy Richard in China
About This Novel
Timothy Richard was an important figure who influenced the course of modern Chinese history. He was not only an influential religious figure, but also a guest of dignitaries at home and abroad, a master behind the reformists, and an opponent of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party... This book records in detail Timothy Richard's participation in the process of Chinese history in almost all fields during the 45 years of the late Qing Dynasty, including religion, science, communications, international trade, disaster relief, the establishment of modern schools and professional colleges, and the establishment of modern publishing houses. His personal experience is almost a microcosm of modern Chinese history: major contradictions such as the fierce contest between tradition and modernity, the conflict and integration of Chinese civilization and Western civilization, the unity of opposites between political and economic aggression and ideological and technological enlightenment are all vividly reflected in his memoirs.
