Australian In China

""An Australian in China"" is a memoir written by G. E. Morrison, an Australian journalist who spent more than two decades in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed account of Morrison's experiences in China, including his observations on the country's political, social, and cultural landscape. Morrison covers a wide range of topics, from the Boxer Rebellion and the fall of the Qing dynasty to the rise of the Republic of China and the country's ongoing struggles with foreign influence. Throughout the book, Morrison offers insights into the complex relationship between China and the West, drawing on his own experiences as a foreigner living and working in the country. ""An Australian in China"" is a fascinating historical document that provides valuable insights into China's past and present.Look for example at the difficulty there is in telling a Chinese, who has been taught to regard the love of his parents as his chief duty, as his forefathers have been taught for hundreds of generations before him--the difficulty there is in explaining to him, in his own language, the words of Christ, ""If any man come to Me and hate not his father, he cannot be My disciple. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
