CHIN: ..So, they heard my name in Chinese, and they said something quite similar, you know, put together. You know, then is like John, quite similar. ..So, they call me John instead of calling me Chung-an. WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: In that way, then I also, use that. It was nice to use that name too. WILSON: The...when did you first start using the name John? CHIN: Oh, it quite a number of years. WILSON: While you were still in China? CHIN: Yes. Yeah. WILSON: Was it advantageous to use a western...? CHIN: Well, it was because I had…I had many chance to talk, you know, make the friends with the western missionaries, you know, so forth.

Where exactly is Kaifeng? CHIN: Kaifeng. WILSON: Now where…where exactly is that in China? CHIN: That=s in the northern part of China. Chung-zhou. And we actually…we say that Kaifeng is the middle, you know center of the whole China. So, the original name for that town or that city is Zhong-zhou. Zhong-zhou means the middle part of China.

I mean...had Christianity become a…a Chinese religion or was it still considered a foreign import, a missionary endeavor? CHIN: I…I remember it that my young, you know, my young period of time, I think that people, Chinese people, looked at the Christian church or Christianity as foreign. WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: However, in connection with the CIM mission work, they always emphasized the, you know, to…to make the church to the indigenous, the Chinese… WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: …not the foreigners. WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: So, CIM is perhaps on that score, might be far advanced. WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: For instance, I give you, one...if any Chinese evangelist, you know, if one church or group want to have you know... WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: …then they should pay their own salary, they emphasized. Unless there is some situation in special cases there might be, they might be some subsidized. But they always insist that you have to pay your own, you know, your evangelist salary by your Chinese Christians. WILSON: Uh-huh. CHIN: ...So, there is something, you know, they wanted to make, you know. Not only those people who look at this, but also, the evangelist. WILSON: Right.

  • Christian History & Biography
    Issue 98: Christianity in China As for Me and My House The house-church movement survived persecution and created a surge of Christian growth across China. Tony Lambert On the eve of the Communist victory in 1949, there were around one million Protestants (of all denominations) in China. In 2007, even the most conservative official polls reported 40 million, and these do not take into account the millions of secret Christians in the Communist Party and the government. What accounts for this astounding growth? Many observers point to the role of Chinese house churches. The house-church movement began in the pre-1949 missionary era. New converts—especially in evangelical missions like the China Inland Mission and the Christian & Missionary Alliance—would often meet in homes. Also, the rapidly growing independent churches, such as the True Jesus Church, the Little Flock, and the Jesus Family, stressed lay ministry and evangelism. The Little Flock had no pastors, relying on every "brother" to lead ministry, and attracted many educated city people and students who were dissatisfied with the traditional foreign missions and denominations. The Jesus Family practiced communal living and attracted the rural poor. These independent churches were uniquely placed to survive, and eventually flourish, in the new, strictly-controlled environment. In the early 1950s, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement eliminated denominations and created a stifling political control over the dwindling churches. Many believers quietly began to pull out of this system.

    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

  • Ginling College, the University of Michigan and the Barbour Scholarship
    Ginling College, the University of Michigan and the Barbour Scholarship Rosalinda Xiong United World College of Southeast Asia Singapore, 528704 Abstract Ginling College (“Ginling”) was the first institution of higher learning in China to grant bachelor’s degrees to women. Located in Nanking (now Nanjing) and founded in 1915 by western missionaries, Ginling had already graduated nearly 1,000 women when it merged with the University of Nanking in 1951 to become National Ginling University. The University of Michigan (“Michigan”) has had a long history of exchange with Ginling. During Ginling’s first 36 years of operation, Michigan graduates and faculty taught Chinese women at Ginling, and Ginlingers furthered their studies at Michigan through the Barbour Scholarship. This paper highlights the connection between Ginling and Michigan by profiling some of the significant people and events that shaped this unique relationship. It begins by introducing six Michigan graduates and faculty who taught at Ginling. Next we look at the 21 Ginlingers who studied at Michigan through the Barbour Scholarship (including 8 Barbour Scholars from Ginling who were awarded doctorate degrees), and their status after returning to China. Finally, we consider the lives of prominent Chinese women scholars from Ginling who changed China, such as Dr. Wu Yi-fang, a member of Ginling’s first graduating class and, later, its second president; and Miss Wu Ching-yi, who witnessed the brutality of the Rape of Nanking and later worked with Miss Minnie Vautrin to help refugees in Ginling Refugee Camp. Between 2015 and 2017, Ginling College celebrates the centennial anniversary of its founding; and the University of Michigan marks both its bicentennial and the hundredth anniversary of the Barbour Gift, the source of the Barbour Scholarship.

  • Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns
    "They Call Me Bruce, But They Won't Call Me Bruce Jones:" Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns Ellen Dionne Wu Los Angeles, California The names of Asian Americans are indicative of their individual and collective experiences in the United States. Asian immigrants and their descendants have created, modified, and maintained their names by individual choice and by responding to pressures from the dominant . Anglo-American society. American society's emphasis on conformity has been a major theme in the history of Asian American naming conventions (as it has been for other groups), but racial differences and historical circumstances have forced Asian Americans to develop more fluid and more complex naming strategies as alternatives to simply adopting Anglo names, a common practice among European immigrants, thus challenging the paradigms of European-American assimilation and naming practices. Donald Duk does not like his name. Donald Duk never liked his name. He hates his name. He is not a duck. He is nota cartoon character. He does not go home to sleep in Disneyland every night. ... "Only the Chinese are stupid enough to give a kid a stupid name like Donald Duk," Donald Duk says to himself ... Donald Duk's father's name is King. King Duk. Donald hates his father's name. He hates being introduced with his father. "This is King Duk, and his son Donald Duk." Mom's name is Daisy . "That's Daisy Duk, and her son Donald .... " His own name is driving him crazy!
