Compared with other thinkers. of his times, as a radical thinker of Christianity in China, Wu Leichuan's Christian Thoughts showed that he took the future and fate of the country as his first consideration. Based on the analysis of the text, Wu Leichuan's Christian Thoughts are mainly focused on three aspects:social reform, indigenization and radical revolutionary. From these three aspects, his patriot can be easily seen. It seems that Wu Leichuan's Christian patriot-centered Thoughts are not different from these of other contemporary thinkers. However, Wu Leichuan's thoughts are more outstanding, his interpretation of The Bible (especially of the New Testament),of Jesus, Focusing more on the future of the country. In his opinion, the Bible and the classics of Confucianism originate from the same Tao, and Jesus is considered as a social reformer, and a model in need for the youth who are in the critical time of Chinese nation. He supposed that Jesus is also a patriot, and his deeds are all surround with the liberation of the whole nation and country. Wu Leichuan's radical reform and his way of interpreting The Bible seems far away from the orthodoxy, but his way of interpretation have a great influence on the communication of the Christian religion and Chinese culture. It may be said that Wu Leichuan's belief and his patriot are a example for the modern people to review their lives.
