Changing China: Western Consultants in China
About This Novel
This book is about Western consultants in China. For more than three hundred years from the 1620s to the 1950s, these people contributed excellent skills to the Chinese people. At the beginning, it introduced the theory of celestial body movement, and finally allowed the Chinese to see the magical skills of air combat tactics and atomic science. Shi Jingqian selected 16 representatives from hundreds of foreign consultants working in China. These sixteen people each have their own specialties - astronomers, soldiers, doctors, administrative experts, translators, engineers, and a professional revolutionary. Although their careers spanned three centuries, the life course they accumulated has an amazing continuity. They experienced similar excitement and danger, embraced similar feelings, and endured similar setbacks. Their actions reflected their times and highlighted China's inherent basic values.
