在華五十年

內(nèi)容概要

司徒雷登自幼生長(zhǎng)在中國(guó)杭州下城區(qū)的耶穌堂弄間，操一口純正的杭州話，
“是一個(gè)中國(guó)人更多于是一個(gè)美國(guó)人”。自1919年司徒雷登被任命為燕京大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)，司徒雷登便為這座學(xué)校奔走馳驅(qū)，建造起美輪美奐的燕園，以重金延請(qǐng)鄧之誠(chéng)、郭紹虞、容庚、錢穆、吳文藻等一批大學(xué)者來(lái)校任教。1927年，司徒雷登更一手促成燕大與哈佛合作，組成了著名的哈佛燕京學(xué)社。抗日期間，司徒雷登被關(guān)押在日本人的監(jiān)牢內(nèi)，戰(zhàn)后又出任駐華大使，可以說(shuō)，他的一生有大半時(shí)問(wèn)與中國(guó)的教育、時(shí)政難解難分。
 歷史學(xué)家林孟熹曾評(píng)價(jià)說(shuō)：
“整個(gè)20世紀(jì)大概沒(méi)有一個(gè)美國(guó)人像司徒雷登博士那樣，曾長(zhǎng)期而全面地卷入到中國(guó)的政治、文化、教育各個(gè)領(lǐng)域，并且產(chǎn)生過(guò)難以估量的影響?！甭勔欢嘣凇蹲詈笠淮窝葜v》中也說(shuō)“司徒雷登是中國(guó)人民的朋友?！奔?xì)細(xì)尋繹司徒雷登的這部沉埋已久的回憶錄，往昔如煙歲月便又重新歷歷在目了。

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁(yè)：   I also began to evaluate missionary methods. Acceptance for baptismwas chiefly a matter of doctrinal beliefs in simplified form, attendanceon Sunday services and the rigid keeping of that day, more thanin the moral and social implications of the Gospel. Repudiation of ancestor-worship seemed to be a needlessly harsh aggravation of thedifficulties for the Chinese convert. Worship was chiefly preaching, withno sensuous appeal through the pageantry of ritual, artistic adornmentand such, all of which are instinctive among Chinese. In general thetendency was toward a somewhat severe, repressive, formalizedconception of religion, which was a natural fruition of accepted standardsin the parent Church. In other missions, and latterly in most of them,there have been notable changes in all these matters. A far more serious problem, then at its worst, was the abuse of thesecular power represented by the governments supposedly behind themissionaries. Roman Catholics, through the Concordat with the FrenchGovernment claimed official status for their hierarchy and protectedtheir members in lawsuits and other political issues. To join a Churchmeant political and economic security. This statement is made withoutimpugning the motives of the Catholic priests. Still less is there criticismof their piety and devotion for which I have the greatest admiration. But itled to false reasons for joining the Church and to constant legalinjusticesdue to the fear Chinese officials had of complications with the Great Powers which were too often made the pretext for additi.onal territorialor commercial concessions. Chinese workers in Protestant missions were appealed to to help relatives or neighbors in difficulties and alsohad the temptation to supplement their meager salaries by assisting insuch negotiations.
