Victim of a Cereal Killer

I bought this book on an impulse when I was in the Book Fair two weeks ago. It’s so cheap, only 12.90 Ringgits. And most importantly, the cover was nice. It was bright red in colour, with a Chinese dragon motive.
.
How can you resist such a cheap buy? FHM and Autocar also cost 10 Ringgits anyway.
.
The title of the book is ‘The Spirit of Chinese People - 中国人的精神’, by Gu Hong Ming 辜鸿铭.
.
So those were the superficial excuses I gave myself to buy that book. The real reason the book caught my eye was the title itself. As most you know, I’m a bloody banana. Yellow on the outside, white in the inside.
.
In order to get more acquaited/get in touch with my Chinese side, I decided the buy it and read it… that is if I kao tim all levels of my Prince of Persia-the Two Throne. Best of all, the book is English and Mandarin. The author has also made reading this book for English speakers a piece of cake.
.
This books is great. It talks about the real Chinamen (or ‘Chinese people’ if you prefer). What makes them tick and what makes them not, their mentality and mindset. These Chinamen has mostly gone the way of the Dodos.
.
I’m only 33 pages into it. so I can’t really say much about it. However, I’d still like to recommend it to all my friends, no matter banana or not, to read this book. For Chinese speaker, it’ll help you understand your Chinese self better; for Bananas, it’ll answer many whys and whats you had in mind about the Chinese speakers.
.
I do a more thorough review of the book after I finish reading it. Then we’ll have a more lively discussion of the Chinese society in Malaysia.
.
Yours Sincerely,
