A Ship Bound for China

About This Novel

After the publication of "Searching for Su Huilian", the author Shen Jia continued to search and investigate, and used unexhausted primary materials to write more than ten independent articles, continuing to narrate the past anecdotes of missionaries in China related to Su Huilian. It involves Hu Shi's understanding of faith and his interactions with Su's father and daughter, which has long been ignored by Hu Shi's numerous research studies; it also tells how the Weng Tonghe family, the largest civil servant family in the late Qing Dynasty, interacted with missionaries, which affected the legendary lives of subsequent generations; "The Origin of Chen Yinke's Employment at Oxford" reveals for the first time the relationship between Chen Yinke and Su Huilian. The stories behind the search and writing of Su Huilian are also recorded, such as "Three Notes on "Treasure Hunting" in England", "Searching for Su Huilian's Graveyard in Oxford", etc. The author's search for his predecessors has traveled across several continents, and there are many twists and turns and bizarre experiences. There are also some articles in the book related to the modern history of Wenzhou. Su Huilian has lived in Wenzhou for a quarter of a century, and looks back on this now famous city from his perspective. Whether it is reinterpreting the origins and transformations of the Fenglin lesson plan, or examining the details of the Art and Literature Hall, the author can use rarely seen foreign materials to tell different stories. Although the author is good at using historical materials and researching historical facts, he also has skills in laying out and narrating the history, making the history both solid and beautiful. There are also many rare old photos from overseas, which are also available to Chinese readers for the first time.
