当我们走进著名的哈佛大学燕京图书馆时,会被墙上悬挂着的一幅大照片所惊讶。这是一个清代官员打扮的中年人,顶戴花翎,身着官服,足蹬皂靴,清癯的脸上生着一双睿智的眼睛。他就是第一位到美国名校任教的中国学者戈鲲化(1838- 1882)。120多年前,戈鲲化不远万里来到美国．创立哈佛大学的中文教育,在中美文化交流史上写下了自己的名字。 When we walked into the famous Harvard-Yenching Library, we were amazed by a large picture hanging on the wall. This is a middle-aged man dressed by officials of the Qing Dynasty, wearing a flower Ling, dressed in official clothes, pedal soap boots, Qinglv’s face with a pair of wise eyes. He was the first Chinese scholar Ge Kunhua (1838-1882) to teach at a famous American university. More than 120 years ago, Ge Kunhua came to the United States thousands of miles. Founded Chinese language education at Harvard University and wrote his own name in the history of Sino-American cultural exchanges.
