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.

評分看瞭容閎迴憶錄,很細緻。能夠從主觀角度,瞭解19世紀赴美留學的中國人的生活,以及迴到中國之後如何找工作,如何會國傢做齣貢獻,而做齣的種種抉擇。還能知道清朝人與外國人交流的狀況。從外國傳教士開始,到外國船員,到外國買辦,中國人和外國人的交流不斷加深。
