Status Updates From My Country And My People

Lin Yutang is a brilliant polymath, traversing cultures and history. A 57 yo Chinese living in the West, it felt like he knows me better than I know myself, unraveling little mysteries frolicking right under my nose but out of my sight. I am taking Rolf Dobelli’s advice to read a good book twice, this time round, with ChatGpt by my side to decode historical names and events quoted in the book. A solid 5 Stars.

This book just seems like a Chinese supremacists dream. The first few pages personifies China as a great, wise and old woman who knows more than Western civilizations, calling it a modern Rome while calling the American Dream as a "goddess bitchness", saying that no Westerner has ever endured as much as the Chinese and just pushing towards race related topics, with the northern and southern Chinese.
