Excerpt from My Friends, the Chinese

HE greater part of this book was written in China Ttwo years ago when the country was enjoying the greatest measure of peace and prosperity it had known for a quarter of a century. It has been revised to the accompaniment of war in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and vast territories have fallen into the hands of enemy troops. But throughout the work of revision I have not thought it necessary to make any essential changes, for I believe the picture of the Chinese people is a permanent one. This is not the first time that China has been over-run by foreign troops and parts of her territory put under alien rule. Nor is there any indication, to my mind, that the present invasion will have any more perma nent effect than the former invasions on the lives and thoughts of the Chinese people. The present struggle is more desperate than the previous ones because mechanised warfare has made it so, and it has aroused more desperate efforts at resistance and brought to the surface a unity which has been surprising to the Chinese themselves.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful book thoroughly examines the complex and enduring civilization of China from various perspectives. The author, who lived in China for several decades, provides an insider's account of the country's fascinating past and present. Key themes explored include the role of Confucian philosophy in shaping Chinese society, the significance of farming in Chinese life and the unique techniques developed to overcome fuel scarcity. The text delves into the contradictions, such as China's history of military conquest yet susceptibility to foreign influence. The author argues that the Chinese ability to survive both physical and cultural challenges is due to a combination of inherent adaptability and a deep-rooted sense of cultural identity. This book will appeal to those interested in understanding the intricacies of China, its enduring legacy, and the challenges it faces today.
