Edward Kajda\u0144ski was in many ways an exceptional man. Born, raised and educated in Harbin, a writer, diplomat, historian endowed with a truly Renaissance personality and talents. In the context of Polish-Chinese relations, he can be described as an outstanding „cultural intermediary” – if we were to resort to scientific terminology \u2013 who, due to his roots in two traditions, Polish and Chinese, played a huge role in bringing Poles closer to the Middle Kingdom.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made Micha\u0142 Boym, a Lviv Jesuit and scholar, who worked on Chinese soil in the 17th century, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, his guide or patron. Boym inspired Edward Kajda\u0144ski and became the hero of his most important scientific works, but not only. Working over several decades on the history of this outstanding scientist, Edward Kajda\u0144ski built a special model of interest in Chinese culture based on empathy towards the subject of research, conscientiousness and striving to reach deep meanings. We can guess that such a man and author was previously Micha\u0142 Boym himself.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward Kajda\u0144ski worked until the last days of his life, which ended on September 10, 2020. With his death, was his unique experience a thing of the past? What remained are his books, especially the fascinating story „How I discovered Polish Marco Polo”, which reports historical research full of unexpected turns. Today, readers receive the memories of Edward Kajda\u0144ski, which are not only his biography, but also a summary of his life wisdom, which will surely become a source of inspiration for new generations of Chinese researchers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
