Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 Wang Zhao was a Chinese monk who, in the first spring of the twentieth century, delivered a document that would change the Chinese-speaking world forever. He had been hiding out in Japan for the past two years, carrying a hefty bounty on his head. His desire to go home eclipsed his fear of capture.
#2 The Chinese language seemed to be a major impediment to China’s adaptation. The country was unable to find easy equivalents for loaded concepts like rights and sovereignty at negotiation tables with foreigners, and they were seen as barbaric and inferior by their counterparts on the streets.
#3 The Chinese language was on the brink of a transformation that would change the way it was used forever. The old empire was about to be shaken to its foundations by decades of internal problems and tumultuous encounters with other nations.
#4 In 1900, Chinese anxiety pervaded the land. The country was in turmoil, and the Map of National Humiliation depicted the different foreign powers as their popular avatars, carving out their share of the country.
