In Search of the Real China

Most of the China-related books that have been published are one sided, either for or against China assuming the role of a responsible country in the community of nations. None has really got it right impartially, yet not afraid to expose China’s sensitivities over 5,000 years of continuous existence. “In Search of the Real China” is a personal attempt by the author about what is good or bad, real or false, about China as a nation and people without seeking favour from either.

For the readers of Chinese origin, “Chineseness” is about self-criticism, if they are to be accepted by non-Chinese races worldwide, including non-Han race Chinese within the country. Today’s world cannot continue to exist disparately. Soon enough the month of October will have gone past, yet the taken for granted frozen Artic has yet to start freezing to stop causing inundation of other above sea level islands from sinking to oblivion.

Non-Chinese readers, especially in the West, must learn to join hands with Chinese worldwide to bring forth wholesomeness to one and all. Beneath white, yellow, black and brown, all are as vulnerable as demonstrated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Life can only reverse back to an abnormal normal.
