The Chinese : Potrait of people

---

Timely and incisive, this is the first book about modern China since the death of Mao Tse-tung.rnWritten by one of Europe's leading diplomats, THE CHINESE explores mainland China's relations with the West, the richness of its past, and the enigma of its future. It covers the Long March and the Great Leap Forward, exposing the terror of the Red Guard and the stories behind the overthrowing of Lin Piao.rnThe author discusses expansionism, neo-Marxism, coexistence, the widening Sino-Soviet split, and the inevitable rapprochement with the Free World. Underlying it all is the enduring mystical power of Mao.rnIn twenty years China may well be the dominant power on earth. More important, however, than the economic, military and political consequences of its existence-difficult though they may be for many people to accept—is China's vision of life. This is the author's primary concern as he probes the structure of society today in the People's Republic. What are the limits of human potential? What good is culture, if it cannot develop for the benefit of all? The author examines education, industry, medicine, science and trade, showing how they are practiced and how they affect the common man. Furthermore, the aims of the government, its ways of dealing with history and the world, and how these are both conceived and implied by official doctrine are carefully evaluated byrnM. Peyrefitte with all the detail and sensibility he derived from his unique experience.rnFinally, he analyzes what it means to be Chinese today and a member of the world's most innovative society. THE CHINESE addresses a fundamental question—will history finally celebrate or deplore the great experiment in which eight hundred million people are engaged?
