China, a land of preposterous phenomena
by Kenji Asahara
China, to be precisely, is a land belied with ridiculous contradictions, and full of preposterous phenomena. Like in any culture study, one could not have a thorough grasp on Chinese phenomenon unless one takes a close view on the psychology of the Chinese people. Otherwise people are easily be deceived by the superficial and delusional prosperity orchestrated by the ruling class of that nation. People’s impression of China as a weak and low class nation can largely be attributed to the retarded features in Chinese people’ characteristics which have puzzled the scholars and politicians alike ever since China became the center of attention. It is hard to come up with a simple answer to a question of this magnitude because to fully analyze China and Chinese demands tremendous time and efforts which are beyond the grasp of any individual. However, most Chinese watchers, either the optimistic ones or those who predicting its demise, tend to agree on the fact that Chinese culture lacks of the necessary ingredients to establish a modern and civilized society. Their stubborn and egotistic mentality such as face saving and lying, their outrageous disregard of scientific and rational method, prevented the Chinese from knowing the true cause of their miseries, and, therefore, denied them the true solution. This article is aimed at debunking many false understanding about the Chinese, both as a race and as a culture.
Sadly to point out, despite the smug self assertion as the only continued and perhaps the oldest civilization on this earth, China made virtually no contribution to the modern civilization. Owing to the shortage of creativity, China did not produce any world class philosopher in modern time. Chinese philosophy, unlike its Western counterpart, has always been a metaphysical phenomenon instead of an intellectual endeavor drawn upon the power of rationalism and science. Chinese philosophy encourages people抯 adaptation toward nature rather than an active engagement in studying and conquering the nature so it can be best suited for human’s use. Chinese history, therefore, appears to exist in a perpetuated stagnation which does not evolve itself through cascaded stages, from lower to higher one, but only lingers itself on a vicious circle of violence and crime. Marxist interpretation of human history may not apply to Chinese history because Chinese culture denies the evolutionary mechanism described by Marxist theory of historical development. Instead of exploring into and acquiring resources from nature, Chinese people are used to scuffle with each other over the petty causes and scavenger on the limited resources.
Although traditional Chinese culture was well bestowed with wisdoms and enlightened proverbs, people can hardly find any lively applications of them in the behaviors of the average Chinese people. Chinese culture strikes me as a culture of castrated body, a decaying carcass with no sign of muscle and brain. It is quite safe to say that, today’s Chinese have little to do with the real Chinese in the past. They are creatures with character of perversity and sickness. They are dying animals or pre-matured fetus. Perhaps the true Chinese exist only in history or imagination.
A mind occupied by fear and selfishness embodies the real source of evil. It is the ultimate source of all Chinese suffering. We can not afford to see Chinese continuously committing crimes against their own people, if indeed we consider Chinese as part of the whole human race.
Beside selfish, Chinese are deeply superstitious. They tend to rely on all kinds of luck and fortune for the outcome of an event. Their incurable faith in magic leads them to surrender their selves to all sorts of tricks and schemes, which, according to their limited mind, will lead them to success effortlessly. Even today, they are still entertaining themselves with a self fulfilled dream of being the center of all human civilizations, without knowing the fact that, China is tremendously left behind in almost every field of social and economic development.
Generally speaking, most Chinese haven’t yet reached to mental maturity because they never really allow their character to be fully developed. They could not organize and function well in modern social or political entities such as government, parliament, and legal system. It is difficult to build social or national identity among the dependent and selfish people such as the Chinese. Chinese have been called a pile of “Loosened sand” by foreign observers in the past. I am afraid the situation hasn’t changed much now. After all, one could not create a masterpiece of art from a piece of garbage.
Subconsciously, Chinese opt to show a strong sense of inferiority when confronting foreigners. That can explain why they always try to match their records with that of the United States or the Japan’s, despite the fact China is not in the same social and economic level with the advanced countries. Chinese tend to be both realistic and idealist at same time. This self contradictive mentality enhances the difficulty in solving the Chinese puzzle, and quite often leads to opinions that polarize to each other. In some events, a Chinese could be depicted as heroic patriots while in the other case, a shameless traitors, or a little bit of both. A Chinese could, on one hand, fiercely expresses his patriotism, in the meanwhile, tries everything possible to get his foot into foreign lands. Is there anything more hypocritical and pathetic than the tragic discrepancies between their words and deeds? If China is such a wonderful place why Chinese always try to deliver their babies in the United States? Perhaps the respect which the Chinese are so eagerly craving for could come only if the Chinese somehow manage to align their words with their deeds.
