About the Book
CHINA, one of Earth's oldest cultures, inventor of paper, reborn often through centuries of war and peace ... now emerging as world's premier economic power of the future, and The United States, a young country, inventor of print-on- demand self-published books, seeking to be Earth's melting pot of Freedom, but making many mistakes along the way ... This book, for anyone interested in China, dramatizes the crucial opportunity in world history for all of us, especially for Chinese students, 65,000 in the US, untold millions in China studying English for we are the ones who can do the most to help China and the United States maintain mutually beneficial relations into the future, and benefit most from our mistakes. The first section is my true experiences of growing up as a teenager in China of the 1930's. I hope that you, along with me, will enjoy learning from China, my Great Teacher. The second section suggests how we can learn and profit from the many mistakes of the United States. Our boundless values as the world's beacon of Freedom are not listed here, concentrating instead on learning from our mistakes. Our future holds life-threatening dangers to Mankind, as well as supremely challenging opportunities. The author hopes, especially for Chinese students, this book will be essential ... a doorway to Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
