CHAPTER 3
CHINA: A NATION TO PRESERVE
8. The Character of the people
The people of China, though differing in many ways, have a most remarkable unity of
culture and character. Nowhere else is there a population of half that size so much alike
in looks, ideas, customs,religion, and language. Only in China can a message written in
one language carry to so many people. The genius the Chinese people have for standing
together upon any question is of great importance. It may bring them to disaster, but
rightly used it will rather bring them to a new national life. People today tend toward
greater individuality, and the Chinese people will move in that direction,too; but still
their ability to cooperate will be one of their greatest assets both in war and in peace.
A great people who can think and act together may even find that they need no other means
of defense. For the progress and development of the country, too, few characteristics are
more important than the ability to think and feel together.
Another characteristic of the Chinese people is their desire to settle matters by
reason rather than by force. Everybody knows that this rule is right, but few people act
upon it so consistently as the Chinese. It is very diffcult to bring oneself to face facts
and judge justly and not to take advantage of one's greater strength. If the Chinese can
take the leadership in the use of reason rather than force, the world will forever be
greatly in their debt.
China is a country of ripe experience. She has much to learn about modern science,
but in human affairs she has much to teach. Her ways are the result of ages of experiment
and thought. Her culture is not that of a family recently grown rich. She has found values
by long experience. We should be slow to cast aside or fail to learn from that experience.
She has learned, for example, that it is better to deal honestly than to break agreements.
She has learned that language study is necessary to sound scholarship. She has learned
that officers ought to be educated people. She has learned that the scholar is of geater
importance than the soldier. She has learned that it is not so necessary to get things
done as it is to do them in the right way. She has learned that things are to be judged by
practical results rather than by finespun theories. She has learned that courtesy is
better than haste. Shall China's experience be disregarded, as if she were an immature
nation with everything to learn and nothing to teach? Shall we for example, for the
observance of the rules of proper conduct in social intercourse? Shall we not agree with
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, who urged us not to discount such ancient virtues as Loyalty and Filial
devotion, Kindness and love, faithfilness and justice, harmony and peace. but to preserve
them as among China's most valued possessions?
