Description

Amongst the Chinese exists great cultural variety and diversity.

The Cantonese care more for profit than face and are good businessmen, whereas Fujian Ren are frank, blunt and outspoken but daring and generous.

Beijing Ren are more aristocratic and well-mannered, having stayed in a city ruled by emperors of different dynasties.

Shanghai Ren are more enterprising, adventurous and materialistic but less aristocratic, having been at the center of pre-war gangsterism.

Hainan Ren are straightforward, blunt and stubborn. Hunan Ren are more warlike and have produced more marshals and generals than any other province.Pioneers of Modern China is a fascinating book that paints a vivid picture of the unique cultural characteristics and behavior of the Chinese in the various provinces.

Using leaders in the modern history of China, such as Sun Yat Sen, Chiang Kai Shek, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao as representatives, it offers an in-depth look into the psyche of the Chinese people.

It also pays tribute to writers, painters and kungfu experts, who have helped to develop the country socially and artistically.
