Forever
The spirit of Chinese book review
A real Chinese person has an adult mind and a child's heart. Therefore, the Chinese spirit is the spirit of eternal youth, is the national immortal spirit.
“When one learns to enjoy loneliness, loneliness becomes a kind of beauty”, it is said by LuXun. And he had ever said that had Chinese lost the confidence? And at that era, in the depression years of the late Qing dynasty, when the situation was changing,the country was suffering and the westernization swept across the central plains, many people were confused: the Qing rulers were lost; Farmers who have lost their land. Millions of intellectuals in China are also lost, too many things, too many choice, where to go...
And then, Chinese people need to be awaken. Sometimes, though Chinese people lost the ability of will, but that all because of the social background, there are many war and mob brought many kinds of panic. The panic which seized and took possession of the crowd of plain men and women in European countries when last August that monstrous modern machine in Russia which the plain men and women had helped to create, began to move.
In ancient times, many people lived as a puffed-up puppets without any will of their own, worked pulled and moved up and down by the plain men and women. They only had voice but no any will. Although at this moment, although Chinese people still had some bad will,but within their heart, they still had their spirits that supported them to go constantly.
As the author said that there is only one way to be free , that to be truly free , and that is by following every rule -- by learning to discipline yourself properly. Look at China before the revolution. -- there was no priest, no police, no council tax and income tax. In short, there is nothing that makes people in Europe and America unwilling to live. If a man acts according to the standards of his conscience, he will naturally become a good citizen in society. Does such a nation still need western religion? He himself believes in the religion of the good people!
Fair communication is not the extreme duality or one pole over the other. However, under the historical condition in which Gu hongming almost totally repudiated Oriental culture, a real balance could be achieved only by resisting one extreme trend of thought with the other extreme.
There is no doubt that the "Chinese spirit" that Gu emphasized is indeed yearned for and missed. In his opinion, due to westerners' theory of "sexual evil" and their fear of god and law, external compulsion force is needed to restrain them. The national pride that emerges between the lines is obvious, and the essence of the eastern spirit cited is also profound and occasional. From the seemingly arrogant nationalist heart, or can strongly feel the kind of undeniable light of the Chinese nation.
Of course, in the era of sexual liberation in China, In the hearts of nationalists, the irrefutable light of the Chinese nation can still be keenly felt.
