Liu Zhaoguo 劉肇國 in his essay Zeng Tianzhu xin tang ji 贈天主新堂記 ( Jap-Sin II, 76, ff. 3v–6v) gives an account of the building of this church. He mentions (f. 3) that there were two slabs at the entrance of the new church. According to him, Adam Schall intended to write an account on the building of the church and its religious aspect and to have it engraved on one of the slabs. On the other slab he would have had Liu’s essay inscribed, the theme of which would be on the calendar achievement of the Jesuit missioners at the Imperial Court. Seemingly, Schall was aware that the Chinese scholars were in general pagan in their outlook. They became friends of the missioners for the sake of their learning but were totally indifferent or even hostile when it came to the question of Christianity.

"The first Chinese Christian to come to Europe seems to have been Zheng Weixin 鄭維信 (1633-1673, a native of Macao), also called Manuel de Siqueira (Sequeira). He accompanied Alexandre de Rhodes (1593-1660). They departed from Macao in 1645 and in 1649 arrived in Rome, where Zheng entered the Jesuit Order in 1651. He was ordained priest in Coimbra in 1664 and left for China in 1666, where he arrived in 1668 only to live five more years ..." Cf. Standaert, Handbook of Christianity in China, p. 449.
