Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Heroes of Cathay, an Autobiography and a Sketch
Were the story of Mr. K'ung's boyhood days given as fully as is Mr. Fay's, we should have a strongly contrasting picture, one of life in a wealthy, aristocratic family. For him there was less of peril and adventure, less of external loss, in that sad, last year of the century, but the sympathetic heart will catch the deep pathos of this tragedy of the inner life.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us into the heart of 19th century China, a time of turmoil and transition. Through the moving firsthand account of Fay Chi, we experience life as a young Chinese boy amidst the backdrop of the Opium Wars, the rise of Western influence, and the first stirrings of Christianity. From his childhood days marked by poverty and hardship, to his education in mission schools, Fay Chi's story reveals the complex struggles of a people grappling with tradition and modernity. The book examines the profound impact of Western medicine, education, and religious ideas on Chinese society. We see the emergence of a new generation embracing Christianity, while encountering resistance and prejudice from family and community. The author, clearly dedicated to the cause of spreading Christian values in China, uses Fay Chi's personal journey to illustrate the transformative potential of faith and the importance of education. This book, a testament to the enduring power of hope and the human spirit, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal period in China's history.
