具体描述

Yung Wing was unique. He was born in southern China in 1828, before the Opium Wars, and became the first Chinese person to graduate from a major US college. He then returned to his country to participate in and witness the convulsions of 19th century China, and also wrote about it in English in this fascinating and highly readable book. This book is a glimpse into the world of China in the mid and late 19th century, at the crucial moment when this ancient and closed civilization was being forced to accept the existence of the West and its superiority in science, trade and military technology.

容闳自传读后 容闳是近代中国第一个名校留学生，归国后官至二品，为清末的洋务运动做出了巨大的贡献。其中最著名的就是江南制造局的建立和幼童留学的促成。然而，清政府当时的方针是“中体西用”，所以容闳只得用其长，而不得信任。《容闳自传》的原版是英语的，石霓先生在翻...
