Features: Wu Jingxiong was a remarkable genius who bridged Eastern and Western civilizations. In his autobiography written in 1950, he discussed topics such as the dialogue between Christianity and Chinese culture, Western poetry and spiritual life, Buddhism and introspection of the inner self, and more. He eloquently articulated Chinese thought in fluent Western language, itself embodying a seamless harmony of East and West. The evil spirit, having left the body, came and went over the dry land, seeking a place to rest, but found none. So it said, "I will return to the house from which I came." When it arrived, it saw that it was empty, swept clean, and decorated, so it went and brought in seven other more wicked spirits. They all went in and lived there. The man's final condition was worse than before. So it will be with this wicked generation. (Matthew 12:43-45)
