China through the experience of Chinese students caught between the

This book offers new insight into the love-hate relationship
between the United States and China by examining the experience of
Chinese students caught between the two countries.
American-educated Chinese have considered themselves patriots
because they studied in the west in order to return home to build a
strong and prosperous China. However, when they returned they were
often accused of being traitors who advocated Western ideals. The
author focuses on several generations of Chinese students from 1872
to the present as she examines attempts to bridge the gap between
East and West. The work includes seventeen biographical sketches
that place the cultural and political trends of over a century
within a more personal and accessible context. Through the
students' experiences we are able to trace developments in China's
modern history, China's ambivalence toward Western influence,
U.S.-China relations, and the use of educational and cultural
exchanges as a political device.
In this centennial year of China's 1911 Revolution, Volume 3 in the
Salt and Light series includes the life stories of influential
Chinese who played a political or military role in the new Republic
that emerged. Recovering this precious legacy of faith in action
shows the deep roots of the revival of Christian faith in China
today.
