The narrative chronicles the life of George Leslie Mackay, a Canadian missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in Formosa (now Taiwan). The text suggests themes of bravery, determination, and the challenges faced by missionaries in foreign lands. The opening portion of the book introduces young George Mackay and illustrates his childhood, filled with ambition and a strong will to succeed despite his small stature. As he and his friends labor in a stony field near their home, they engage in playful banter about their future aspirations, during which George is quietly dreaming of great deeds. The narrative shifts from his early life to his departure as a young adult embarking on a voyage to Hong Kong, symbolizing his commitment to become a missionary. This transition sets the stage for the struggles and encounters he is set to face in a foreign land, hinting at both the promise and hardships of his future mission in Formosa.
