Yung Wing was unique. He was born in southern China in 1828, before the Opium Wars, and became the first Chinese person to graduate from a major US college. He then returned to his country to participate in and witness the convulsions of 19th century China, and also wrote about it in English in this fascinating and highly readable book. This book is a glimpse into the world of China in the mid and late 19th century, at the crucial moment when this ancient and closed civilization was being forced to accept the existence of the West and its superiority in science, trade and military technology.

Before we were fairly out of the "Golden Gate," we were treated every day with salted mackerel, which I took to be the daily and fashionable dish of Nantucket.
The cook we had made matters worse, as he did not seem to know his business and was no doubt picked up in San Francisco just to fill the vacancy. The mackerel was cooked and brought on the table without being freshened, and the Indian meal cakes that were served with it, were but half baked, so that day after day we practically all left the table disgusted and half starved.
Not only was the food bad and unhealthy, but the skipper's family was of a very low type. The skipper himself was a most profane man, and although I never heard the wife swear, yet she seemed to enjoy her husband's oaths. Their little boy who was not more than... (查看原文)
