Publisher Description

Synopsis:

This insightful book is intended for foreigners who visit China or are working and living in China, as well as for foreigners whose work is closely related to China. It includes knowledge of the country’s recent past and acquaints readers with the six masters who are considered idols for many Chinese, including almost all of China’s important political leaders. The chapters also give an insight and a feel for present day China.


The book illustrates the lives of these six masters of China Studies, men who “woke up” China from her sleep, gave special meaning to Chinese culture, and inspired political leaders who are still alive in the hearts of the Chinese people.


The Story of China Studies contains translations of “The Icy Mirror,” which is Chinese physiognomy, and “A Talk on Verses for Singing,” a guidebook for reading and appreciating a unique form of Chinese verses called “Cí.”


About the Author: Wang Ronghua was formerly the Chinese ambassador to Iceland. Now retired as a diplomat, he is currently an advisor in Beijing for an Irish company. “What China can offer to the world are not only her language, herbal medicine and martial arts, her thoughts and ways of thinking are as important.” His next book is titled A Glimpse to China’s Classics.
