Goethe, the great German poet, once said to his young friends, "Great merits are initiated from one's youth." This book, Chinese Volunteers in Exotic Lands presents an account of the youth's journey of 16 outstanding representative figures who went abroad and volunteered services. Through these matter-of-fact writing sand pictures, we can catch a glimpse of their young,fervent, pure,and love some souls and will be deeply impressed by their exceptionally significant and unforgettable memories. After reading the book,you will find that these young people who have uncommon experiences are actually common members among us. They are common teachers, doctors, scholars,lawyers,dancers,processors,violinists,and the like. However, once they set foot on the exotic lands and stretched out their warm hands to the unfamiliar natives, they would get a common name overseas volunteers, and would become uncommon as sure as fate.
