Summary "Everlasting Pearl: One of China's Women" by Anna Magdalena Johannsen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative captures the life of Ch'ang-Chu, affectionately known as Everlasting Pearl, detailing her journey from a traditional upbringing in a Chinese farming family to her transformation through Christian faith. The book provides a profound insight into the challenges she faced, including societal expectations, personal suffering, and eventual conversion, which shapes her destiny. The opening of the story begins with Everlasting Pearl’s birth and infancy in Central China, quickly drawing readers into the cultural norms surrounding family life and the significance placed on male heirs. The narrative unfolds her childhood experiences, including the painful tradition of footbinding and her loving relationship with her family. As she grows, the expectation to conform to societal norms grows heavier, yet her innate kindness and resilience shine through. The preface sets the stage for her eventual conversion to Christianity and the struggles that accompany such a life-altering decision, hinting at the spiritual journey that will unfold as she navigates the complexities of faith amidst a backdrop of traditional Chinese customs.
