A remarkably candid record, this diary opens a window onto the daily life of a devoted Chinese evangelist in the tumultuous years before the mid‑1940s. He moves between bustling cities and remote villages, preaching with a fierce love for the gospel while battling severe illness and constant travel that keeps him away from his family for months at a time. The pages reveal how his scientific training, scholarly achievements, and deep spiritual yearning intersected as he chose a modest life of itinerant ministry over academic comfort.

The entries are filled with earnest prayers, reflections on Scripture, and vivid accounts of healing prayer, mission work, and the relentless pursuit of personal holiness. Interwoven are letters from those he ministered to, modest poems set to simple melodies, and candid admissions of failure and repentance that illuminate his restless devotion. Readers gain a rare glimpse of how one man’s steadfast faith shaped countless lives and left a lasting imprint on the early Chinese church.
