富國強兵之後:中國的百年復興及下一步

Rate this book
中國跌跌撞撞地走過帝王統治、軍閥割據、共和制和共產主義已經有一個半世紀,而其領導人的統治思想歷經封建主義、法西斯主義、極權主義和資本主義,但這些相互衝突的體制和意識形態都未能定義中國。在中國的近現代史中,唯一永恆不變的價值,就是追求「富國強兵」這一法家箴言。

  十一個富有代表性的人物因此被作者召喚出來,輪番出場,接力走完中國追求現代性復興大戲的漫漫長征。他們分別是魏源、馮桂芬、慈禧太后、梁啟超、孫中山、陳獨秀、蔣介石、毛澤東、鄧小平、朱鎔基和劉曉波。而到了習近平時代,在中國夢和大國復興的口號下出現了巨大的裂痕和不確定性。

  賦予西方塑造現代性的「自由、平等、博愛」,換到形塑現代中國,則變成了「富有、強大、榮耀」。因此,這個務實的、講究手段的國家,在取得富強後,會把自己的國家力量投射到何方?長達一個世紀的邁向現代國家的長征,真的抵達終點了嗎?
