Features: Chinese history is always rushed past, but the problems remain unsolved. The rich heritage is permanently stored, wrapped in issues, while the hopes for the future inevitably lead to a destined failure. The 1980s should not be so easily forgotten, and Bei Yang still holds significance and value for re-reading. Recently, Suzhou Gu Wu Xuan Press, with keen insight, has published Bei Yang's Ugly China in the 21st Century. We can now "legitimately" and calmly read this extraordinary book that has shaken the Chinese world. Our ugliness stems from our unawareness of our own ugliness. The renowned Taiwanese writer Bei Yang, with a "wring one's heart over one's failure" attitude, strongly criticizes the "dirty, chaotic, noisy," "intra-group struggles," "lack of unity," and "refusal to admit mistakes" of the Chinese people. He points out that traditional Chinese culture suffers from a filtering disease that infects our descendants, leaving them unable to recover even today.
