Tehyi Hsieh

              CHUATAUQUA GREETINGS



A great Chinese story to hear,


One of good meat and full of cheer—


A world of Harmony brought near,


Wafting us away from our fear.—T. H.




America sat respectfully at the feet of China; the mind of America was fed and stimulated by the intellect of China; the heart of America was thrilled by the eloquence of China; the ideals of America were re-vivified by the idealism of China; the star of the world's hope was seen brilliantly 
shining through rifts in the clouds in the Far East, all this transpired as Dr. Tehyi Hsieh, of China, spoke before the Woman's Club of Exeter last Tuesday afternoon.
  It was an event of no ordinary significance.  
The sermon at the Baptist Church next Sunday morning at
 10:45 
will be an attempt to interpret this event under the title 
A Prophet from the Far East.

WOMAN'S CLUB.


The programme committee of the club may well be congratulated on the programme which they were able to present at the meeting on Tuesday afternoon; 
seldom, if ever, has the club listened to a more brilliant and forceful speaker than Dr. Tehyi Hsieh, of Brookline, a native Chinese and graduate of Cambridge University,
 who spoke on 
China wrestling with the New Spirit.
  For over an hour he held his audience, which overflowed into anterooms and corridors, entranced with his wonderful command of the English language and his wit and power of mimicry, at the same time presenting a vivid picture of conditions in China and her relation to other nations, particularly the United States.
  At the close of his address he made a strong appeal for the advancement of medical education, emphasizing it with the statement that throughout the Republic there is only an average of one physician to each four hundred thousand people, and one school-teacher to each one hundred thousand.—

PARLIN SCHOOL HONORED.




Dr. Tehyi Hsieh, China's foremost statesman, but America's foremost friend, endeared himself to the youngest of his American audiences when he appeared before the Parlin school, Tuesday forenoon, under the auspices of Room 2, Miss Cohen's class.




A born lecturer, a born teacher, he held youth spellbound in the instruction he offered and in the amusement he furnished.  With a generous application of the richest and finest wit, he pointed out the humorous ambiguities of the English language as contrasted with the serious simplicity of Chinese, a language of pictures.




But behind it all were notable facts.  China, with due regard to the United States, boasts today of a new up-to-date Republic, a new rainbow flag, a new alphabet of thirty-nine letters only, a new people—four hundred and eighty million souls, all of whom are not laundrymen nor cooks, nor consumers of rice or what not.  They are a human race trained and being trained in all walks of life, entering upon a new era of advancing civilization.




No text book could have impressed the student more favorably nor effectively.
  Youth needs the oral demonstration and from the youth of the Parlin school is echoed and re-echoed, 
May the Lord preserve (not can, a la speaker) Dr. Tehyi Hsieh.

EVERETT HERALD.




Roosevelt of China
 makes most enviable name for himself throughout America in his mission making friends for China.  Hsieh has been widely heralded as a better English speaker than most Americans who have penchant for addresses.  His English diction is perfect, but he does not hesitate when the necessity arises to use 
slang,
 the better to illustrate his point.—


BOSTON HERALD.




Noted Chinese an Impressive Speaker at City Club Auditorium.
  Eulogised by John C. Ferguson, advisor to Chinese Government, who said upon such men as Hsieh are reflected all the enormous possibilities of awakening China….  Hsieh in his illuminating address shows inherent genius of an unusually clever Chinese story-teller.—


BOSTON TRAVELER.




So interesting and eloquent was Dr. Hsieh's address at Civic Building, Framingham, held under the auspices of the Forum last night, that nearly two hours had slipped away before the audience allowed him his time-limit for last minute train to matter.

His address replete with many happy epigrams and noble sentiments, 
was one of high principle and not of any animosity.
  He shows, with his constructive policy how he easily 
ranks among the ablest and fair-minded in the untiring work for peace and international understanding.

PREDICTS CHINA TO USE UNITED STATES POLICIES.




Awakening to bring two Nations together says Dr. Hsieh.
  Dr. Hsieh, whose talk at the Institute was the fourth in the city … charmed his audience with his attractive personality, his
 acquaintance with America and American customs, habits, accomplishments and aims, and his direct, forceful and clever way of presenting his message to his listeners.—
THE UNION,

Manchester, N. H.



Dr. Tehyi Hsieh, 
economic and industrial leader of China,
 the 
Teddy
 Roosevelt of the Orient, brought East and West together last evening at the Arts and Science Institute, and in one impassioned phrase voiced the theme of his address, 
When China is thoroughly awake she will co-operate with America to save the World.




HAS PLENTY OF 
PEP.




Dr. Hsieh's subject was 
Present-Day China,
 and he was the very embodiment of his theme.  Small in stature, alert, quick of wit and keenly intelligent, he exhibits so much American pep that he talked rapidly for more than two hours, and 
his audience was hungry for more
….  A distinct and most agreeable mental picture of the New China was left with the audience.—

SEC. WEEKS SPEAKS BRIEFLY.




Longmeadow's new Community House was reborn last night with a thundering rebirth of New China….  Chinese Night was a decided success….  The slight figure of the Chinese statesman fairly shook with the force of the words.  It was easy to believe that the determination he spoke was the same determination with which he held the high international principles and rights.




Sec. Weeks paid 
a brief and striking tribute
 to the 
Teddy of China,
 who makes friends for China easily, and shook hands with China as per little statesman and had to leave for the Republican meeting at the Auditorium.  Before he could reach the door, however, the 
little but vigorous Chinese statesman's short, thin arms were up with a vim,
 
three cheers for your Secretary of War,
 he cried, and his own shrill Oriental voice, pitched high above the others, 
led the three thundering
 
hip-hip-hoorays.

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.





PATRIOTIC MEETING, WARREN AND PRESSCOTT CHAPTER—DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION



Dr. Tehyi Hsieh of Peking, China, gave an impressive address
 choosing as his subject:  
East and West, Once Back to Back, Now Face to Face.
  He told first of the great difficulties encountered by Chinese students in acquiring the English language and 
gave some very amusing anecdotes in illustration.
  He recalled that America was the first nation to offer educational advantages to the Chinese, which example has now been followed by other nations.  Dr. Hsieh outlined briefly the history of China, its revolution in the Boxer uprising and the overthrow of the Manchus and establishment of a republic.




With great enthusiasm the speaker told how the port had been opened to the world,
 of how two hundred Buddhist Temples had been turned into schools; also of the 
radical change in the intellect
 of the people, which had led to the changes in the alphabet
 and establishing a new banking system.  Dr. Hsieh closed by saying the liberation of China had 
come through the outstretched hand and fellowship of America.
  It resulted from the great Washington naval conference which meant the birth of a solemn compact between nations recognizing the brotherhood of man.  
Dr. Hsieh's words were followed with deep interest and there was much applause from those privileged to hear him
.…  A silken flag of stars and stripes was presented to Dr. Hsieh in token of his patriotic work in America, which he promises to entwine with Rainbow flag of China.—

TEDDY ROOSEVELT
 OF CHINA MAKES EARNEST APPEAL.




Before the biggest audience which has as yet gathered at a Free Church Forum, Dr. Teyhi Hsieh, with his ready wit, his wonderful appreciation of the peculiarities of an American audience and his remarkable knowledge of existing situations both in China and in the United States, made an appeal for the co-operation of the United States in the reconstruction of China, last Sunday evening.




He discussed the possibilities for good which might come from the four hundred and eighty million souls who were just awakening from centuries of slumber in China and who were starting in a new era, combining the best of the West with the best of the East.  He outlined the future of China as it might come to be if linked up with America in a struggle to perpetuate the peace of the world, nations on opposite sides of the globe, directing but not controlling the economic and civil life of their hemispheres with a common and united purpose in mind.  
He was tremendously earnest in his appeal, at times dramatic, never commonplace.
