My Country and My People

Taipei, Taiwan: Mei Ya Publications, Inc., 1968 From the introduction: "One of the most important movements in China today is the discovery of their own country by young Chinese intellectuals. A generation ago the most progressive of their fathers were beginning to feel a stirring discontent with their own country. They were conscious, indeed the consciousness was forced upon them, that China as she had been in the past was not able to meet the dangerous and aggressive modernity of the West. I do not mean the political modernity so much as the march of economic, educational and military events. These Chinese fathers, fathers of the present generation in China, were the real revolutionists. They Forced out of existence the old dynastic rule, they changed with incredible speed the system of education, with indefatigable zeal they planned and set up a scheme of modern government. No ancient government under an emperor ever accomplished with more imperial speed such tremendous changes in so great a country." ----------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery service Revised and illustrated. 440 pages with index and many black and white photographs
