Gu Hongming, the author of The Spirit of the Chinese People, was born in Southern Ocean, studied in the Western Ocean, married in the Eastern Ocean, and served as an official in the Northern Ocean. He was the first person who studied in China and the West at the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.

If a foreigner who does not know about China is allowed to evaluate, the Chinese spirit is narrow. If a foreigner who does not know China is allowed to evaluate, the Chinese spirit is blind. The spirit of the Chinese people, written by Mr. Gu Hongming, who lived in all the oceans of his life, is quite comprehensive.

In this book, the Chinese and Americans, the British, the Germans and the French are compared. Different countries have different spirits. By comparing, we can understand our own strengths and weaknesses, and the spirits that other countries do not have are more precious than those that China has.As Mr. Gu Hongming said in his book, "To understand the real Chinese and Chinese civilization, the person must be deep, broad and simple."Since the late Qing Dynasty, the image of the Chinese people has been seriously distorted. Mr. Gu maintained the dignity of Chinese culture by writing and changed the prejudice of some Westerners towards China.The spirit of the Chinese people, this book has a more comprehensive evaluation of China, there is reason.
