Earlier I published a quote from “Fanshen”, a remarkable<\/p>\n
first-hand account of China as it underwent its revolution,<\/p>\n
written by William Hinton.<\/p>\n
Surely you know that China is a “world player” as I write<\/p>\n
but consider this, China has been a world player for\u00a0 thousands<\/p>\n
of years in the history of the world gone before; and here\u00a0 I<\/p>\n
can’t help but say many Americans, who’ve only been around a<\/p>\n
few hundred years, even if they know history, don’t give<\/p>\n
a rat’s ass about it. I had to say that, ha,ha!<\/p>\n
Be that as it may, I highly recommend your perusal of this book.<\/p>\n
You will discover that these people, the Chinese, have been<\/p>\n
“forged in fire”, a fire we have never known.<\/p>\n
I do believe we could learn a “thing or two” from them.<\/p>\n
