Understand China
As the tendency that more and more people would like to know China, a lot of authors tried to introduce China to foreign friends through different perspectives.
A very famous Chinese researcher Jin Bo, recently published a book about China called Understanding China: Introduction to China’s History, Society and Culture both in English and French.
Although there are not many pages about the ancient glories of the Tang and Yuan dynasties or the profound thoughts of Confucius and Lao Tzu, this book is still a good choice for the foreign friends who begin to be interested in China.
It is uneasy to translate the original Chinese into foreign languages. But the author did a good job. It’s probably because he often cites ancient poems and foreign experts’ comments.
The last three chapters try to explain the country’s unusual phenomenon in the late 1970s and what the Chinese leaders have been trying to do with the opening and reform policies. He also lists some challenges in the future for the country. Finally, he makes China related to the global context.
However, without a basic understanding of what China had been before, the discussion will make no sense. So the history is extremely helpful.
