This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick O’Neill, an Irish Presbyterian missionary, lived for forty-five years in Faku, a small town in Manchuria, northeast China. From 1897 until his expulsion by the Japanese army in 1942, he witnessed and reported the extraordinary events that convulsed China – the Boxer Rebellion, the Great Manchurian Plague, the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. He also served with the China Labour Corps in France in World War One. “Engagingly written, with a wonderful way of bringing to life the work of one missionary and the broader history of Manchuria.” ----Frank Dikötter, Chair Professor of Humanities at The University of Hong Kong “History is more complex and colourful through the lives of real persons than by the pens of historians. Basically we are all human beings and the distinctions by religion, race, and class could not conceal our passion for others. We might interpret macrohistory in whatever ideologies; the microhistory of individuals does not follow any mega-theory and the individuals’ lives present only narratives embedded in a particular conjuncture of time and place. But only through these narratives that we can understand real persons, real lives, the real world and the history they constitute. The case of Frederick O’Neill is one of them.” ----Dr Thomas Chan, Head of the China Business Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Download or read book Early Encounters between East Asia and Europe written by Ralf Hertel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While inquiries into early encounters between East Asia and the West have traditionally focused on successful interactions, this collection inquires into the many forms of failure, experienced on all sides, in the period before 1850. Countering a tendency in scholarship to overlook unsuccessful encounters, it starts from the assumption that failures can prove highly illuminating and provide valuable insights into both the specific shapes and limitations of East Asian and Western imaginations of the Other, as well as of the nature of East-West interaction. Interdisciplinary in outlook, this collection brings together the perspectives of sinology, Japanese and Korean studies, historical studies, literary studies, art history, religious studies, and performance studies. The subjects discussed are manifold and range from missionary accounts, travel reports, letters and trade documents to fictional texts as well as material objects (such as tea, chinaware, or nautical instruments) exchanged between East and West. In order to avoid a Eurocentric perspective, the collection balances approaches from the fields of English literature, Spanish studies, Neo-Latin studies, and art history with those of sinology, Japanese studies, and Korean studies. It includes an introduction mapping out the field of failures in early modern encounters between East Asia and Europe, as well as a theoretically minded essay on the lessons of failure and the ethics of cross-cultural understanding.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Wang, the First Chinese Evangelist in Manchuria: A Sketch of His Life and Work, With a Chapter Upon Native Agency in Chinese Missions The Chinese Evangelist Wang Jingming died on the mission premises in Mookden, Manchuria, on September 24th, 1885. Having been the first mem ber baptized, the first preacher set apart, and the first elder ordained by the writer, his life and ex periences, even if of an ordinary kind, could not fail to be interesting to me personally. But as he may be called the virtual founder of Protestant Christianity in that extensive country known as Manchuria, it is believed that a sketch of his life, and some of the circumstances connected with his work, may be not merely worthy of passing notice, but deserving the interested attention and the careful study of all who are anxious to discover the best and speediest manner in which Christianity may be successfully proclaimed to the inaccessible millions of China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven Months to Freedom recounts the daring World War I escape of German midshipman Erich Killinger. Falsely accused of bombing a railway station after crashing his plane at sea, he was sentenced to life in the Sakhalin coal mines. Shipped by rail with several other POWs across Russia, Killinger was determined to return home. In order to do this, though, he needed to jump from the train, cross Siberia, and make it to a German-run escape pipeline in China—all while braving bandits, subzero temperatures, threats of starvation, the risk of capture by Japanese and Russian troops, and possible internment by the Chinese. Once he made it to China, Killinger used money and fake identity papers to survive along the 800 miles to Shanghai. Improbably playing the role of a dashing French blade, Killinger lived the high life on one ship, then later served as a humble deckhand on another. Risking discovery by the British, he made a bold and risky move as his final destination neared.
