Features: Analyzing a family—a vibrant grassroots organization that embodies and inherits traditional Chinese Confucian culture. From this perspective, one can glimpse the historical vicissitudes of modern Chinese society over the past century. Among the modern-century families, the Ma Xiangbo family of Dantu, Jiangsu is one of the most typical cases. As a family history of Ma Xiangbo, it is necessary to establish a narrative framework centered around him while outlining the century-long activities of his family members. Given the current lack of research on the Ma Xiangbo family, this book focuses on the two central figures, Ma Xiangbo and Ma Jianzhong, fully presenting the historical panorama of the family members' activities over the past century. At the same time, it integrates the family's mission of promoting cultural and academic heritage and its spiritual tradition of believing in Catholicism into the narrative. To fully reflect the real life of this family over the past century, the authors structure the book according to the historical influence of its members and vertically showcase the changes and fluctuations of the family members.
