In this episode, let’s get to know Arthur Evans Moule (1836–1918), a distinguished member of the renowned British missionary Moule family in China during the late Qing Dynasty.

In his words, Ningbo encapsulates 4,000 years of history, weaving together the rich heritage of ancient times with the dynamic spirit of modern China.

Moule has been praised for "conveying his experience of China more through his unique personal experience and documentary description, bringing a sense of intimacy to his readers rather than condescendingly recounting the existence of the ‘Other’ with a sense of the superiority of Western culture.” 

This attitude of exploring the scene and experiencing diverse cultures actively and patiently still carries positive significance for today’s international communications.
