Legend has it that in the 17th century an Italian Jesuit missionary braved numerous challenges to carry out the Church's mission in the rumoured magnificent Eastern Kingdom — China. He immersed himself in the study of both Chinese and Manchu, seeking to understand Chinese culture and assisting the Church in projecting an image of a sacred and advanced Eastern land in Europe. In a southern Chinese ancient city, this foreigner deciphered Chinese and Manchu through observation and listening, bearing witness to the most authentic China, untouched by the west’s Orientalist aesthetic interpretation.
