P. Johann Frick SVD: Mao schlief in meinem Bett

The "notes" reflect a fascinating world of Chinese past, as experienced and reflected in an empathetic way by Johann Frick. The missionaries sought to achieve as much empathy as possible with the Chinese realities, but on the other hand could not hide their European judgment. The population appreciated the foreign missionaries when they were experienced as "praying and good people". The attachment to the Chinese people is a wonderful testimony of humanity. The last months of his stay draw a warm and vulnerable person who is emotionally attached to "his" Chinese, but also understands his communist adversaries. In the end, he is a broken man because "his" Chinese expel him from the country.
