Excerpt from China
In introducing the foregoing work to the English-reading public, therefore, I would not lay stress on any part of it to the exclusion of the rest. We Chinese, like the ancient Greeks, prefer to see things whole In that attitude lies the only safe procedure if we are to shape the life of the community of nations so that peace, security and justice can prevail. The world must not only know more of its com ponent parts; it must gain an entirely new conception of human rights and obligations. Nationalism is the narrow sense must give way to an enlightened internationalism which seeks the communal good wherever it may be found. It was an inspiration, surely, which led Sun Yat-sen, founder of the New China, to use the word min (people) in his triple platform for the construction of the Republic.
This book is addressed to the people of the world, for in their hands lies the good or ill of future generations. The story it tells is one facet of a many-sided jewel, cut and polished by innumerable hands down the ages. If all these sides are known and understood the peoples can look and move forward without fear or stumbling.
