Features: A humorous portrayal of the Chinese, a satirical map of human nature. A cautionary, motivational, and critical book that fully reveals the human nature code of the Chinese people. Exposes the pervasive gambling mentality in money, career, and life, destroying the historical inertia of the Chinese. Confronts the secular customs of society throughout history and the present, unveiling the vast historical veil inherited by the Chinese. Break free from traditional constraints and cultural gaps to destroy historical negativity and inertia, and rebuild a harmonious and civilized society. A must-read for those entering social trials and struggles, and for those seeking to experience the joys and sorrows of life.
Using the perspectives of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, the book provides a scientific analysis of gambling culture. It neither avoids its objective existence nor analyzes its potential for change during its development. It boldly dissects, criticizes, and discards it, making it a primary task in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. This book argues from this point of entry and purpose.
The development of history and social progress depend not only on the liberation of productive forces or the growth of a single economy but also on advanced culture replacing decadent culture to meet the demands of the times. It can be said that the gambling culture that has lasted for a thousand years is a chronic illness and "monstrosity" nurtured by feudal, pathological society and the soil of private ownership, and it runs counter to the healthy development of civilization. It is a social manifestation of historical inertia, just as Engels said when discussing the dark side of historical traditions: "Tradition is a huge obstacle, a force of historical inertia, but since it is only negative, it must be destroyed."
