Features: This book recounts in diary form the miraculous life experiences of a Chinese Catholic named Hu Ruoquan in France in the 18th century, supplemented by historical accounts of early cultural, religious exchanges between China and the West. The vast differences between Eastern and Western cultures made this Chinese man's journey to France full of hardships and twists, his soul enduring immense torment, ultimately leading him to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. The book recreates the extraordinary adventures of Hu Ruoquan from over 200 years ago and attempts to provide historical and cultural explanations for his doubts.
