| description | This article offers a personal and intellectual tribute to Monsignor Manuel Teixeira (1912-2003), a preeminent figure in Macau’s historiography, in the context of his passing. The author, Ana Maria Amaro, employs a testimonial methodology, drawing on memories spanning decades of close friendship and an analysis of unpublished private correspondence to illuminate Teixeira’s final years. The narrative focuses centrally on his transition from an active, charismatic life in Macau to what the historian himself described as his “exile” in Chaves, Portugal. Amaro details the emotional and physical impact of his forced departure from the territory, underscoring the contrast between his vibrant intellectual presence in the East and the feelings of isolation, loneliness, and abandonment he experienced upon returning to the metropole. Through excerpts from letters written during the 1999 transition of sovereignty, the text reveals Teixeira’s critical perspectives on Macau’s political situation and his profound saudade at the loss of the missionary and academic environment that had defined him. Ultimately, the article constitutes a poignant reflection on the human dimension of an historical icon, emphasizing the importance of recognition and intellectual engagement for those who have dedicated their lives to preserving Luso-Chinese memory and heritage. |
