Sinopsis

Salt and Light presents the life stories of outstanding Chinese Christians who, as early modernizers, promoted China?s nation building and moral progress in the early twentieth century. Lively anecdotes and photographs highlight the strong character of ten pioneers in the modern professions of education, medicine, journalism, and diplomacy. These professionals were motivated by faith to introduce practical social reforms and build up China?s civil society. They modeled and promoted virtues essential to social progress during the 'golden age' of Chinese Protestantism. Their stories touch on themes important in today?s global era: patterns of cooperation between foreign and Chinese partners, the contributions to China of Western-educated professionals, Christianity?s role in furthering East-West understanding and exchanges, and the transnational nature of modern Chinese Christianity:Rong Hong - Visionary for a New ChinaTang Guo?an - Pioneering China?s Rights Recovery MovementShi Meiyu - An 'Army of Women' in MedicineFan Zimei - Between Tradition and ModernityDing Shujing - The YWCA Pathway for China?s 'New Women'Mei Yiqi - University President in WartimeLin Qiaozi - The Steady Pulse of a Quiet FaithWei Zhuomin - Bridging National Culture and World ValuesWu Yifang - Abundant Life in Training Women for ServiceYan Yangchu - Reformer with a Heart for the VillageThe editors and authors articulate the importance of recovering China?s Christian heritage as part of world Christianity. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????'??'???????????????????????????????????19??60?????????????????????????????????1928??????????????......?????1850?1950????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????'????'???????'?'?'?'???'?'????????????????????????'?'??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????'???'??--???????????????????????????????????????????????
