Xu Guoqi is Professor of History at the University of Hong Kong.
Chinese–American relations are often viewed through the prism of power rivalry and civilization clash. But China and America’s shared history is much more than a catalog of conflicts. Using culture rather than politics or economics as a reference point, Xu Guoqi highlights significant yet neglected cultural exchanges in which China and America have contributed to each other’s national development, building the foundation of what Zhou Enlai called a relationship of “equality and mutual benefit.”
Xu begins with the story of Anson Burlingame, Abraham Lincoln’s ambassador to China, and the 120 Chinese students he played a crucial role in bringing to America, inaugurating a program of Chinese international study that continues today. Such educational crosscurrents moved both ways, as is evident in Xu’s profile of the remarkable Ge Kunhua, the Chinese poet who helped spearhead Chinese language teaching in Boston in the 1870s. Xu examines the contributions of two American scholars to Chinese political and educational reform in the twentieth century: the law professor Frank Goodnow, who took part in making the Yuan Shikai government’s constitution; and the philosopher John Dewey, who helped promote Chinese modernization as a visiting scholar at Peking University and elsewhere. Xu also shows that it was Americans who first introduced to China the modern Olympic movement, and that China has used sports ever since to showcase its rise as a global power. These surprising shared traditions between two nations, Xu argues, provide the best roadmap for the future of Sino–American relations.

評分蒲安臣、留美幼童、戈鯤化、古德諾、杜威、國際體育等六個領域其實讀者早已有書可讀,並不缺乏“傳統”的研究成果,作者想要從所謂共享曆史的角度取個巧,烘托所謂新意,這在專業化學術的環境下可以理解。 我的理解,作者所說的共享的曆史,本質上是“國際史”(入江昭)和“跨...
評分第一次看徐國琦的書,是《一戰中的華工》。當時覺得徐的研究方嚮新鮮,又對他提齣的“華工與中國現代化的關聯性”觀點甚為贊同,因此對他印象甚好。所以,當看到徐齣版本書,提齣共有曆史這一新名詞後,感到非常好奇,於是迫不及待從圖書館藉來閱讀。 但不得不說,這次的閱讀經...
評分2017年新一屆美國政府上颱以來,中美之間經貿摩擦不斷。但另一方麵,中國留學生中超過一半的學生選擇美國作為留學目的地,且每年赴美的留學生人數仍在不斷增加;而在美國的國際學生中,中國留學生占比最高,超過30%。在考察兩國關係時,既可以有從政府層麵齣發的視角,也可以從...
