In Christianity and Education in Modern China, Wong Man Kong, George Kam Wah Mak, and other contributors demonstrate how Christianity served as a driving force in the development of modern education in China. Each of the chapters offers new insights into Christian involvement in different issues concerning education in modern China. The contributors examine how Christian missionaries and Chinese Christian educators interacted with China’s social, cultural, and political contexts. Also explored are the Christian legacies of higher education in mainland China and Taiwan, as well as how the spirit of Christian higher education in modern China has been carried on in Asia. This volume suggests that Western missionary and Chinese Christian perspectives of higher education were complementary with each other in modern China.

「為解放而戰的青蛙們，唯有蹲坐在陰暗的半個椰殼底下不動才會失敗。全世界的青蛙團結起來！」 《想像的共同體》作者班納迪克．安德森學術人生自述 是什麼樣的社會、政治、文化與時代背景，孕育、教育並養成了《想像的共同體》（Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism）的作者班納迪克．安德森(Benedict Anderson)？ 班納迪克．安德森終其一生都在挑戰他那個時代的紀律、文化、學術和政治的界限。在《椰殼碗外的人生》（A Life Beyond Boundaries）這本書裡，他記述自己人生中智識形成的歷程，如何迎向寬廣的世界，從中感受探索學習語言的樂趣，以及田野調查的重要性、新左派對全球思維的影響力、教書帶來的滿足感和對世界文學的熱愛。安德森同時在書中敘述一九六五年印尼發生流產政變後，他揭發軍方所扮演的角色，結果遭到蘇哈托政權驅逐出境。此外，他也重溫自己最知名，改變了民族主義研究的著作--《想像的共同體》背後的構思與靈感。 二○一五年安德森修改完本書的校樣後不久，便在爪哇與世長辭，旋即從亞洲湧來大量向他致敬的悼文，顯示安德森的作品將會繼續啟發和鼓舞年輕與年長世代的心靈。 媒體評論 「本書以特有的魅力與文學美感，記述一位當代極受仰慕的學者的智識軌跡。」——古哈(Ramachandra Guha)，《泰唔士報》文學副刊(Times Literary Supplement) 「迷人而低調的回憶錄。作者心酸的表示他對於自己的成就感到多麼幸運。我們都應該感同身受。」——《展望》雜誌(Prospect Magazine) 「安德森是舒適圈的敵人，不論國家、學校或語言皆是如此。他反覆再三的提到泰國和印尼文化的一個意象，也就是一輩子住在半個椰子殼下的青蛙。閱讀安德森的書讓人產生從椰子殼裡探出頭來的感覺。」——《經濟學人》雜誌(Economist) 「安德森的寫作充滿紳士味，仁善，還點綴著笑話——他這種非正式、易閱讀、跨學科的寫作風格一如既往贏得多方喝采。」——《衛報》(Guardian) 「世紀主義的入門書，提供跨越地理、歷史、語言、學科邊界的主張。」——《國家》雜誌(Nation)

An indispensable reference to the development of the Chinese economy—past, present, and future.—DALE W. JORGENSON, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University Since China undertook economic reform and opened its economy to the world in the late 1970s, its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of over 9 percent for more than four decades. No other economy in recorded history has grown at such a high rate and for such a long period as China has done. The questions that naturally arise are: Was the Chinese economy a miracle? Or was it a mere bubble? Will the Chinese economy begin to stagnate like the Japanese economy did in the 1990s, and perhaps decline? Will it be able to escape the “middle-income trap”? If it is not a miracle, can the Chinese development experience be replicated elsewhere? This book provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the remarkable growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, by scrutinising the sources of e

In Rosie Young: A Lifetime of Selfless Service, Moira Chan-Yeung presents a brief history of Professor Young’s remarkable career in medical education and administration at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and her wide-ranging public service to the community over many decades. As the first female dean of HKU’s Faculty of Medicine, her career was deeply intertwined with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong. After her retirement from HKU, she continued to serve HKU and the community up to the present. This book illustrates her many contributions to the development of medical education in Hong Kong and to the university administration at HKU. Professor Young’s extensive public service in the field of medicine also helped improve primary care, hospital care, and public health in Hong Kong. In short, this book provides a valuable record of a female giant in Hong Kong’s medical history and documents her selfless and enduring service to the HKU community and Hong Kong society.

This book focuses on a seldom discussed topic despite its immeasurable impact on the health of the citizens and public health in Hong Kong--the development of outpatient medical services and their contributions. In the early 20th century, Chinese elite organized and operated a number of Chinese Public Dispensaries in Hong Kong and Kowloon, initially to reduce the prevalence of "dump bodies" on the streets during epidemics of smallpox or plague, and to determine the cause of death of these bodies. Later other services including domiciliary deliveries by trained midwives were added. The government founded similar clinics in the New Territories. After WWII, the government took over all the Chinese Public Dispensaries and operated them as general outpatient clinics. Over the years, more general clinics and special clinics were developed. These clinics helped improve the health indices of the population to those of the Western countries by the 1970s.

In the West, love occupies center stage in the modern age, whether in art, intellectual life, or the economic life. We may observe a similar development in China, on its own impetus, which has resulted in this characteristic of modernity—this feature of modern life has been securely and unambiguously established, not the least facilitated by the thriving of literature about qing, whether in traditional or modern forms.Qiancheng Li concentrates on the nuances of a similar trend manifested in the Chinese context. The emphasis is on critical readings of the texts that have shaped this trend, including important Ming- and Qing-dynasty works of drama, Buddhist texts and other religious/philosophical works, in all their subtlety and evocative power.
