摘　　要：容闳作为近代联通中西的代表性人物之一,他用英文写成的自传被译成中文,以《西学东渐记》最为著名。容闳个人对于中国近代以来的发展不仅是经历者,还是参与者,因此该文从史料角度再读《西学东渐记》,不仅通过容闳的视角探究了其与曾国藩、李鸿章等人的交往,也了解到“留美幼童”计划的成型和夭折,还通过容闳经商之路再现了近代的中国社会图景,使读者强烈感受到中国早期知识分子的爱国心以及不断为祖国前途命运而寻找出路的努力和向西方寻求救国真理的历程。Rong Hong,as one of the representative figures who connected China and the West in modern times,is most famous for his autobiography My Life in China and America written in English since his autobiography was translated into Chinese.Rong Hong is not only an experienced person,but also a participant in China's development since modern times.Therefore,this article reread My Life in China and America from the perspective of historical data,not only exploring his contacts with Zeng Guofan,Li Hongzhang,and others through Rong Hong's perspective,but also understanding the formation and premature demise of the"Young Children Studying in the United States"plan,and also reproducing the social landscape of modern China through Rong Hong's business path.It makes readers strongly feel the patriotism of early Chinese intellectuals,their continuous efforts to find a way out for the future and destiny of the motherland,and their journey to seek the truth of salvation from the West.
