19世纪,很多国家对中国贸易产生了兴趣。1842年,英国根据与清廷签署的条约在中国开放了五个通商口岸,这为其他国家(包括丹麦)提供了新的机会。丹麦商船已经到达了世界的许多地区,但它们需要开拓新的市场,比如中国。年轻的丹麦水手彼得·斯汀借以“阿波罗”号的航行来增广见闻,结果一走便是六年。这六年里,他以北欧人的规范和理想来观察、记录中国人的生活和文化,体验了一个完全陌生的世界。
In the 19th century, many countries were interested in China’s trade. In 1842, the United Kingdom opened five ports of commerce in China under a treaty signed with the Qing court, which provided new opportunities for other countries, including Denmark. Danish merchant ships have reached many parts of the world, but they need to open up new markets, such as China. The young Danish sailor, Peter Sting, used the “Apollo” voyage to broaden his horizons and left for six years at a time. During these six years, he observed and recorded the life and culture of Chinese people with Nordic norms and ideals and experienced an entirely strange world.
