A man very popular today, Matteo Ricci. He is a Jesuit missionary with a big intention. He is trying to convert all the Chinese to the Christian religion. He came to China very well educated. He thinks the only way to influence the Chinese people was to get them to trust them. With this decision he learned the language and characters for writing. He also created a English-Chinese dictionary. Lastly he learned Confucious prayers.
His idea has grown very widely. The growth of this religion is the largest China has seen in a while. His followers grow in numbers everday. Soon it might become the new official religion. Confucios teaching look like they won't last too long. All because of a man with a big idea that he is on the verge of doing.
