Abstract
This chapter discusses Lin Yutang’s Christian childhood and Westernized education covering his childhood family background in Zhangzhou, his mission school experience in Xiamen, his college years at St. John’s College in Shanghai, his 3 years as an English instructor at Tsinghua College in Beijing, and then his graduate study abroad first at Harvard University and then completing his Ph.D. degree at Leipzig University in Germany in 1923. The chapter demonstrates that Lin’s Christian upbringing and Westernized education were fundamental in shaping Lin’s future development, and by the time of his obtaining the doctorate degree, he had become a cross-culturally proficient scholar at home with both Chinese and Western cultural traditions.
