In Jan Wong’s entrancing expose Red China Blues, she details her plight to take part in a system of “harmony and perfection” (12) that was Maoist China. Wong discloses her trials and tribulations over a course of three decades that sees her searching for her roots and her transformation of ideologies that span over two distinctive forms of Communist governments. This tale is so enticing in due part to the events the author encountered that radically changed her very existence and more importantly, her personal quest for self-discovery.…
The book called Age of Ambition written by Evan Osnos, a writer of The New Yorker, exposes Chinese citizens are living in a battleground between authoritarianism and aspiration. He also describes the greatest conflict taking place in China–“The clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control.” (Osnos) Evan Osnos states his idea in the book, “An account of the collision of two forces: aspiration and authoritarianism, shows a China river by moral crisis and explosive frustration, whose citizens are desperate to achieve wealth, even as they are terrified of being left with nothing. It is also a riveting and troubling portrait of a people in a state of extreme anxiety about their identity, values and…
China was in a state of fear in, 206 BC, only to be pulled out by a great new dynasty, the Han dynasty emerged, and so did the people's hope for their country. The Han were so amazing they lead China into a golden age using two philosophies as their base rules, legalism and confucianism. Using the two as a yin (dark side of the hill) and yang (light side of the hill), they made balance. The Han accomplished many great things in their time, they had made the biggest trade route of their time.…
The respondents came from various walks of life and different places in China, and the result is a book that goes into the lives and experiences of Chinese people ranging from artists to businesspeople, former Red Guards to rural migrants, prostitutes to Olympic athletes. However, for this assignment, it was asked to only read the interviews of a wealthy business man, a worker, and a Red Guard. I have heard about China Candid before and that’s why I know a lot about it. Sang Ye shows great interest in the personal experiences of his informants and they were presented not as representative of their occupation or class, but as interesting individuals with rich stories to tell. But with the context being modern China, political considerations affected the lives of all three people with whom he had conversations with. How the political expression was managed differed with every person. Some went along with the party line such as the Red Guard, while others distanced themselves from the authorities or make local officials a part of their schemes. Together, the personal stories told in this collection open a window onto what life is really like for both the Mao and post-Mao generations of…

In his defense for the role of China in the world and society, the author reveals China’s success through its path of isolation. Specifically in lines 25-29, the author refers to China’s refusal to be involved in trade with Britain, France, and Holland. As China is “enclosed in the isolation of superiority,” China is independent and does not need their “worthless articles for exchange.” The author discusses the significance of religious tradition and how that can greatly increase a country’s success. Abiding by old tradition solidifies and strengthens the country’s economic and social standing in the world. “China’s greatness was owed to principles of social order over a harmonious whole” The author implies that the social order in China consists…
Chinese history has been guided to the global economic power player that it has become today, based largely on its nationalism. A strong sense of national pride and subsequent perceived competition with the rest of the world for superiority has given birth to a ‘technological revolution’ in more recent years. One of the fundamental principles inherent of a nationalistic society is the shared sense of “all for one, one for all”, which in turn creates an ‘us versus them’ philosophy, and has been present in Chinese history for hundreds of years. Thus one can deduce that nationalism has greatly driven Chinese history.…

During my childhood and adolescence, I maintained a Chinese identity at home and an American one at school. In the presence of family, I attended Chinese language school, learned Chinese calligraphy and Chinese folk dancing. My parents were treated with the extreme respect due to our elders as taught by Chinese culture. At school, my grades were always near perfect due to the pressure of my parents. My Confucian influences led me to always think of my family’s needs above my own.…
