The Rockefeller Foundation's experience in China has been full of ups and downs, contradictions, failures and achievements. This is related to the Rockefeller Foundation's sense of cultural superiority and China's historical background, and is also inseparable from the strong idealism and humanistic spirit of both parties. When studying this period of history, the author puts Western medicine, the Rockefeller Foundation, American educators, missionaries, Chinese intellectuals, reformers, and the Chinese government under the spotlight one by one, exploring what factors are constrained by different civilizations in the process of exchanges, and how people in them use their own and each other's resources to find consensus with difficulty.

The ups and downs and contradictions of foundations in China mentioned in the book reminded me that we will also encounter various difficulties in life, but as long as we have idealism and humanistic spirit, we can find solutions to problems. I also admire the author's research spirit. Her experience made me understand that as long as you have interest and curiosity, you can have fun in research. I will recommend this book to my friends and I believe they will also be inspired by it.
