Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Crossroads The missionary doctor is a practical Chris tian worker. He knows that the religions whichhave held sway in China tend to bring weakness to the body as well as to the soul. Fear of fate, selfishness and sin, ignorance and parasitism, are sapping the physical life of the people. Pre ventative medicine must find a way to clean these things from Chinese society, just as it must find means to clean the dirt from the streets and homes. In this book we might have devoted space to educational, evangelistical and pastoral work. We have not done so. Others know those sub jects far better, and we have been so long deal ing with disease and seeking measures to pre vent it, that we could not help but emphasize this side of the new life which is springing up in China. The missionaries have been trying to save China, physically, intellectually and spirtually. Some emphasize one of these phases more than others. Perhaps we have underscored the first. They are all found in the human life and bound together. We cannot keep them apart. The thing which lifts up the spiritual life strengthens the physical. We have not found a cure for every ill, but we belive with all our hearts that the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savmr must be the foundation for the healing of the people and of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Crossroads The eyes of a doctor see, more than anything else, symptoms of disease in human beings with whom he comes in contact. He has studied his medical books and sick people so long that he becomes accustomed to searching for symptoms in every man he meets. He likewise has learned to see the things which cause disease. He has learned to look at a building, or a school-book, or a suit of clothes, or a street or alley, as a possible disease spreader. He is forever on the still hunt to cure disease and to eradicate things which cause it. His very conversation, consciously or unconsciously, dwells on healing, operations, preventative measures and germs. He longs to create a physically human society. The missionary doctor in China sees symptoms of disease on nearly every person he meets. Trachoma, malaria, skin disease and social diseases are working their ravages through every grade of society; farmer, laborer, soldier, merchant and scholar. Every disease found in modern society is here, and in aggravated form. Among these four hundred million people there are not a thousand modern trained doctors. The missionary doctor is a practical Christian worker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asia at the Crossroads: Japan; Korea; China; Philippine Islands Most writers on Far Eastern politics make the mis take of crediting their readers with a profounder knowledge of the subject than they in fact possess. They take too much for granted. They talk in terms of algebra instead of arithmetic. On the assumption that those who read their books already understand the meaning of such phrases as spheres of inﬂuence, extraterritoriality, the Shogunate, the Genro, the tuchzms, the Anfu Club, the Consortium, the Gentle men's Agreement, the Twenty-one Demands, they make repeated use of them without pausing long enough to explain precisely what they mean. As a result, the casual reader, who usually has only a vague idea of the sub J ect to start with, either becomes bewildered and gives up in despair, frankly admitting that he does not understand what it is all about, or he forms conclusions which, being based on miscon ceptions, do not agree with the facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blue Dragon: A Tale of Recent Adventure in China The blue dragon, chosen as a title for this story, is the national emblem of China, adopted as such by a desire to atter and propitiate that spirit of evil considered to be the most powerful. As the dragon is believed 'to be big enough and strong enough to overcome and devour all the other Wicked genii who continually vex Chinese life, the Wise men of the Black - haired People thought it best to have him on their side, and consequently accorded him the highest honor in their power to bestow. As we of America chose the eagle, strong est of visible air spirits, for our national emblem, so the Chinese chose the most powerful of invisible spirits in whose existence they believe as firmly as we do in the existence of things that we can see, hear, or feel. In the story thus entitled, I have endeavored to give an idea. Of What China has been, is, and may become through education and development, how She is regarded, and how her people are being treated by other nations, and what causes She has for resentment against those Who are taking ad vantage of her feebleness to despoil her.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A String of Chinese Peach-Stones China was once regarded as such an out-oi-the-way place that Walpole has a story of the Duchess of Kingston, who, on being told that the end of the world was close at hand, declared that she would start for China without delay. In which outlandish region certain of her countrymen have been in close touch With the natives for years, feeling as much at home among them for days together as though it were their own land. It used to be -a truism that the study of the written hieroglyphs was the passage of the wilderness of the Chinese language to reach the desert of Chinese literature. That there is much desert, and few willow trees in some parts, no one will deny. But there are many spots where the varied foliage of the hill-slopes lends a grateful colour to the dull brown villages, and even the willow tree affords a touch of nature to the grey and white mazes of a city of slums. N or are pavilions and pagodas to be despised - they are bricks and tiles in blossom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Glimpses of that life however, are available, suffi cient in number and character to give a fairly good idea of what it must be. The playground is by no means always hidden, least of all when it is the street. The Chinese nurse brings her Chinese rhymes, stories and games into the foreigner's home for the amusement of its little ones. Chinese kindergarten methods and appliances have no superior in their ingenuity and their ability to interest, as well as instruct. In the matter of travelling shows and jugglers also, no country is better supplied, and these are chieﬂy for the entertainment of the little ones.

By focusing on Chinese and Indian warfare, the book breaks the intellectual paradigm requiring non-Western histories and cultures to be compared to the West, and allows scholarship on two of the oldest civilizations to be brought together. An international group of scholars compare and contrast the modes and conceptions of warfare in China and India, providing important original contributions to the growing study of Asian military history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary Americans, Pearl Buck was the first person to make China accessible to the West. She recreated the lives of ordinary Chinese people in The Good Earth, an overnight worldwide bestseller in 1932, later a blockbuster movie. Buck went on to become the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Long before anyone else, she foresaw China’s future as a superpower, and she recognized the crucial importance for both countries of China’s building a relationship with the United States. As a teenager she had witnessed the first stirrings of Chinese revolution, and as a young woman she narrowly escaped being killed in the deadly struggle between Chinese Nationalists and the newly formed Communist Party. Pearl grew up in an imperial China unchanged for thousands of years. She was the child of American missionaries, but she spoke Chinese before she learned English, and her friends were the children of Chinese farmers. She took it for granted that she was Chinese herself until she was eight years old, when the terrorist uprising known as the Boxer Rebellion forced her family to flee for their lives. It was the first of many desperate flights. Flood, famine, drought, bandits, and war formed the background of Pearl’s life in China. "Asia was the real, the actual world," she said, "and my own country became the dreamworld." Pearl wrote about the realities of the only world she knew in The Good Earth. It was one of the last things she did before being finally forced out of China to settle for the first time in the United States. She was unknown and penniless with a failed marriage behind her, a disabled child to support, no prospects, and no way of telling that The Good Earth would sell tens of millions of copies. It transfixed a whole generation of readers just as Jung Chang’s Wild Swans would do more than half a century later. No Westerner had ever written anything like this before, and no Chinese had either. Buck was the forerunner of a wave of Chinese Americans from Maxine Hong Kingston to Amy Tan. Until their books began coming out in the last few decades, her novels were unique in that they spoke for ordinary Asian people— "translating my parents to me," said Hong Kingston, "and giving me our ancestry and our habitation." As a phenomenally successful writer and civil-rights campaigner, Buck did more than anyone else in her lifetime to change Western perceptions of China. In a world with its eyes trained on China today, she has much to tell us about what lies behind its astonishing reawakening.
