Abstract

In recent years considerable concern has arisen over the activities of the British Protestant missionaries in China. However, little research has been done on the British missionary children who were born and grew up in China also. In order to know Chinese childhood which owned by the British missionary children, this study mainly focus on the Chefoo Schools which was established by James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) in Shantung China. The major purpose of this research is to pursue the role of the Chefoo Schools in educating those British missionary children in China, which consisted of the three topics as follows. First of all, how the Protestant missionary parents thought about rearing their children in heathen China? This would be helpful for us to realize the reason why James H. Taylor established the Chefoo Schools at Yantai in Shantung during that time. Secondly, we could understand more Modern Chinese History through the study of the history of Chefoo School. After the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor Incident in 1941 during the Second World War, teachers and students of the school became the enemy of the Japanese army and were detained in Weihsien Concentration Camp （濰縣集中營）in Shantung Province. After the end of the Second World War, China occurred civil war in 1945 and Chefoo students were all moved to Kuling Campus. Although teachers and students encountered many problems and difficulties, they were still following the traditional education ideas of Chefoo Schools which shaped the childhood of these Chefoo students. Finally, how did the Chefoo alumni identified themselves with “the Old Chfuians ”(芝罘人). They composed individual graduates spreading over the world by constructing the social group, writing to each other and traveling back to China, the Chefoo alumni enlarged their owned childhood memories to become the historical memories of community which deserved to preserve in the libraries. In order to develop with the topics related with the school history of the Chefoo Schools, family history and the encountering cultural history between China and the Western world in the Twentieth century.
