Description:Napoleon declared, “When China wakes up, the world will shake.” Two hundred years later, the world is coming to terms with China’s growing economic and military dominance and is just starting to recognise its diplomatic and cultural influence. In the front rank of those who awakened the Sleeping Giant was Walter Medhurst. By the time he left China in 1856, he had spent twenty-six years among the Chinese Diaspora of South-East Asia and another fourteen years among the mainland Chinese following the Treaty of Nanking. In so doing, he became the Grand Old Man of the early foreign community in Shanghai, not just because of his achievements in publishing but by his influence on that whole generation of British and American Protestant missionaries who introduced modern education, medicine and social reform to China. The book provides valuable insight into the tumultuous state of nineteenth-century China as it encountered Western influences for the first time. It offers a counterbalance to the prevailing negative perception of colonial conquest and highlights the positive outcomes achieved by specific individuals during that era. Additionally, it tells a tale of remarkable perseverance by a man and his family through extraordinary hardships and tragedies, which is undeniably inspiring for readers today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
