"A magnificent tapestry . . . a story that reaches beyond China into our world and time: a story of faith, hope, passion, and a fatal grandiosity."-- Washington Post Book World Whether read for its powerful account of the largest uprising in human history, or for its foreshadowing of the terrible convulsions suffered by twentieth-century China, or for the narrative power of a great historian at his best, God's Chinese Son must be read. At the center of this history of China's Taiping rebellion (1845-64) stands Hong Xiuquan, a failed student of Confucian doctrine who ascends to heaven in a dream and meets his heavenly family: God, Mary, and his older brother, Jesus. He returns to earth charged to eradicate the "demon-devils," the alien Manchu rulers of China. His success carries him and his followers to the heavenly capital at Nanjing, where they rule a large part of south China for more than a decade. Their decline and fall, wrought by internal division and the unrelenting military pressures of the Manchus and the Western powers, carry them to a hell on earth. Twenty million Chinese are left dead.

作者文笔很好,写出了故事的宿命感,悲壮感。整体没有太多主观感情的代入。前篇对于洪秀全思想变化,起事缘由的剖析尤其精彩

图书馆里偶见的书,借回来懵懵懂懂地看了差不多一半还是抵不住换成了中译版,顿时豁然开朗。

所以杨秀清曾经尝试用儒拯救耶的冲击,有意思🤔

自信负有使命的个人和盲目的宗教热情,常常造成历史的苦痛。
