Samuel Johnson
Fan Cunzhong : I do not assert that Samuel Johnson was an apostle of Chinese culture, which certainly he was not : he never loved any country except his own, and he never loved any culture except the classical heritage of Europe. Johnson did come in contact with Chinese culture and as an interpreter and critic of that culture.
