W hy did They Love China? ChristianM edicalM issionaries and Local
Society, 1835―1911
In the records ofChristian medical missionaries in modern China, they
frequently note that though they were excluded by the local gentry and
officials when they first arrived in a location, they also received
enthusiastic assistance from some commoners. As their familiarity and
understanding increased, they could live in harmony with local Chinese
society and ordinary people, and even became mutually assisting parts
of the neighborhood. Furthermore, because the social living conditions
that Christian medical missionaries enjoyed in China were superior to
what they had in Western countries, and because medicine was highly
respected and generously supported, many of them began to“love
China.”In this sense, the success of Christian medical missionaries in
China was not just due to the therapeutic superiority of modern
Western medicine and the dedication of the missionaries themselves,
but also due to the modesty and good will of ordinary people and the
charitable traditions of China’s deeply customary local society. More
importantly, the acceptance of Christian medical missionaries by
ordinary people and Chinese local society, and the good treatment the
missionaries received from them deeply affected the ways in which
these Westerners―who had forcibly entered China in the wake of the
unequal treaties―re-evaluated Chinese society and reflected on Chinese
culture.
