Unpublished Manuscript 未出版的回忆
This typed manuscript of a memoir by Mary Austin offers a deeply personal account of her first encounters with Jim, her future husband, and describes their shared commitment to the social gospel while at Victoria College and during their early years as missionaries in China. Mary reflects on their shared experiences navigating the complexities of life there, where Jim’s passionate advocacy for the rights of the Chinese people often put him at odds with his fellow missionaries. Despite these tensions, Mary describes how Jim’s humility, patience, and call for a deeper understanding of the Chinese perspective challenged the prevailing attitudes toward foreign superiority and imperialism.
这份文月华的回忆录记录了她与未来丈夫文幼章初次相遇的深刻个人印象，并生动描绘了他们在维多利亚学院期间以及后来作为传教士初到中国时，共同致力于社会福音事业的经历。文月华详细回顾了他们共同面对的种种挑战，尤其是在中国复杂的社会环境中，文幼章因积极倡导中国人权而与其他传教士产生的矛盾。尽管存在这些紧张关系，文月华描述了文幼章如何以他的谦逊、耐心以及对更深入理解中国人立场的呼吁，挑战了当时普遍存在的外来优越感和帝国主义态度。
