help modernize their country.
Mr. Leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in China.
Mr.
Leibovitz learned that Qing government sent a whole delegation (代表团)
of boys to learn the ways of the West.
The
goal was for them to return to China and help their country.
The book says the boys received their American training in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It
must have been a very good education. Mr. Leibovitz said the first prime minister of the Chinese Republic completed this
program. And so did the first engineer to build a largescale railroad without foreign help. The same was true of the fathers of
Chinese education, diplomacy and the Navy.
The bookwriters had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. Their notebooks,
journals, letters and postcards were in English. Mr. Leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that
took place long ago.
The students returned to China after about nine years.
They no longer spoke
Mandarin (普通话)
well
enough to answer
questions.
