An Australian in China is a book written by G.E. Morrison, an Australian journalist who spent almost 20 years in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is a detailed account of Morrison's experiences and observations during his time in China, including his travels throughout the country, his interactions with Chinese officials and citizens, and his insights into Chinese culture, history, and politics.Morrison's writing is engaging and informative, providing readers with a unique perspective on China during a time of great change and upheaval. He covers a wide range of topics, from the Boxer Rebellion and the fall of the Qing dynasty to the rise of Sun Yat-sen and the early days of the Republic of China.Throughout the book, Morrison offers his opinions on various issues, including the role of Western powers in China, the state of Chinese education and industry, and the prospects for China's future. He also provides vivid descriptions of the people and places he encounters, painting a rich and nuanced portrait of a country undergoing rapid transformation.Overall, An Australian in China is an important historical document and a fascinating read for anyone interested in Chinese history, culture, and politics.Look for example at the difficulty there is in telling a Chinese, who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.
