Publisher's Synopsis
The works discussing the national character of the Chinese people can be described as numerous and numerous, but upon closer inspection, there are similarities and minor differences. However, have you ever wondered: Where is the root of the national character of the Chinese people? What makes the people of the country such a national character? Mr. Ren Bumei, a mainland scholar, has studied natural disasters in Chinese history for ten years. From a statistical point of view, he has demonstrated that the natural disasters in China are much higher than those in Western Europe. It is the continuous natural disasters combined with foreign invasions and wars, the so-called "natural disasters and man-made disasters", that have created the fear of survival of the Chinese people, thus forming the unique cultural characteristics of the Chinese people, which the author calls the disaster victims' culture and disaster victims' rationality. The book is rich in materials, rigorous in argumentation, and novel in views. It is indeed a masterpiece for the study of Chinese culture, history, and national character.
