Summary "Memoria dos feitos macaenses contra os piratas da China" by José Ignacio de Andrade is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the valor and actions of the Macanese as they confronted piracy in Chinese waters, particularly focusing on a significant figure, Cam-pau-sai, and the challenges faced by the Portuguese in maintaining their foothold in Macao. The author aims to highlight the bravery and heroism of the Portuguese in their conflicts against both pirates and foreign forces. The opening of the text sets the stage by discussing the inherent risks of documenting the deeds of living heroes while emphasizing the need to honor their contributions to history. Andrade reflects on the magnificence of navigation and the duality of human nature, expressing both admiration and caution regarding mankind's tendencies toward destruction. As he delves into the narrative, he introduces the historical context of the Macanese struggle against piracy, notably detailing the rise of Cam-pau-sai and the consequences of his audacity. The author conveys a sense of urgency in recounting the battles, victories, and alliances, painting a vivid picture of the tumultuous maritime environment of early 19th-century China.
