Features: This book uses English historical materials from the United States as research material, studying and analyzing the Christian missionary activities in China by Americans from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The history of American missionaries in China is not only related to the national relations between China and the United States but also to people-to-people exchanges and cultural interactions between the two countries. Based on research into the oral history resources left by a group of American missionaries, the book analyzes and records the U.S.-China history and the history of bilateral relations during a specific period, particularly the rich popular cultural content inherent in the oral history. At the same time, the author conducted field research in China, using comprehensive materials to delve deeply into the impact of missionary activities on China, the collision between Christian culture and Chinese culture, and the reasons for the rise and fall of the missionary movement.
